The brand that put “premium” on the map

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. They continue to update their recipe to provide exceptional aroma, delicate mouthfeel and flavor year after year — simply a must-try staple for yourself and your friends.
