Dassai Breweries

I finally got myself to Asahi Breweries, the producer of Dassai Sake.
Man, what an awesome trip that was.
I got a hands on tour of how sake is made, and got to try fresh sake right out of the press.
It is truly the pinnacle experience for any sake lover to have it fresh from the press.
Fresh, Bright, and utterly Delicious.


Brewery : Asahi Shuzo
Sake Name : Dassai Niwari Sanbu
Prefecture : Yamaguchi
Quality : Junmai Daiginjo
Founded : Consolidation of 4 Breweries in 1948

Rating : A+

Because the individual rice kernels are refined down to an eye popping 23% (by law, they are regulated to only mill down to 50%), Dassai Niwari Sanbu is amazingly delicate and fruity in flavor. A great sake to enjoy as is.

I found this Sake exceptionally wonderful to drink. Perhaps as an aperitif before a flight of sushi or sashimi.
