Dassai 45 Junmai Daiginjo
DASSAI 45 Junmai Daiginjo is a Japanese Junmai Daiginjo sake from DASSAI in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi, made with Yamada-Nishiki rice polished down to 45%. This 1.8L bottle is the larger format of DASSAI’s standard 45 expression, offering its recognised fruit aromatics, delicate sweetness and clean finish for sharing, dining or entertaining.
DASSAI 45 is brewed as a Junmai Daiginjo using Yamada-Nishiki rice, with the rice polished down to 45% of its original grain size. DASSAI states that this expression was renewed from DASSAI 50 in April 2019, placing it as the brand’s standard polished-rice Junmai Daiginjo in the Classics range.
In the glass, this sake is clear and aromatic, showing a fruit-led floral nose. The palate carries DASSAI’s delicate rice sweetness with notes of apple, orange and pear, giving a polished Junmai Daiginjo profile that remains approachable and clean. The finish is soft, tidy and refreshing rather than heavy.
The 1.8L format suits shared meals, Japanese dining, celebrations and hosting where a premium but approachable sake is needed. Serve chilled in a wine glass or sake cup to keep the floral-fruit aromatics fresh, and pair with lighter dishes such as sashimi, sushi, seafood, tempura or gently seasoned poultry.
