Dassai 45 Junmai Sake

The popular Dassai “50” was replaced by Dassai “45” in 2019 by polishing the rice a bit more. And even though it is the most affordable of their lineup, it belongs to the highest premium sake category with no brewer's alcohol added.
Delicate, fruity & aromatic. This premium saké is semi-dry with a suble sweetness and creamy mouthfeel. It is easy to drink and extremely popular among both aficionados and those new to saké.
