A floral-scented fantasy

This unique sake is a blend of different sake with a range of polishing ratios. Expertly balanced by HEAVENSAKE’s master blender, Régis Camus, this sake presents a wonderful bouquet of aroma, as if you are strolling through a grove of blossoming apple trees. One sip delivers a swirl of flavor, from muscat grape to red apple, with a wonderfully floral aroma. It’s definitely a brew worth a taste.

Asahi Shuzo Co., Ltd. (Dassai)

Asahi Shuzo Co., Ltd., the maker of Dassai with a 200-year history, is known for constantly reinventing themselves to adapt to modern challenges. From the turn of the century, they have committed themselves to the premium junmai daiginjo category, leading the sake industry to worldwide recognition. Using the “king of sake rice” Yamadanishiki, their sake exemplifies the modern, delicate, floral brew, to be enjoyed chilled in a wine glass. Their naming of Dassai “45,” “39” and “23” refers to the rice polishing ratio (the remaining percentage of rice after polishing), with Dassai “Beyond” being the ultimate expression of premium sake.
