Description
Dassai Blue 35 is brewed at Asahi Shuzo's American brewery in Hyde Park, New York, using Yamada Nishiki rice grown by Isbell Farms in Arkansas, the first collaboration between a premium Japanese sake maker and a U.S. rice farm. Polished to 35% of the original grain, it represents an extraordinary level of refinement. The nose layers white peach, nectarine, jasmine, and honey; the palate follows with ripe melon, Asian pear, and a soft salinity before finishing with quiet, whisper-clean elegance. Off-dry, medium-bodied, and unmistakably Dassai in spirit, this is premium sake rooted in American terroir.

Here at DASSAI, we cherish sake crafting.
Like it was the case for wine, the world of ginjo sake is often described as something too difficult to understand unless you are a connoisseur. That is definitely not the case. Anybody could tell a truly great sake when tasted. All of us at DASSAI aim for a truly great sake.
