Dassai 45 Junmai Daiginjo is a Japanese premium sake from Yamaguchi, made with Yamada-Nishiki rice polished until 45% of each grain remains. This 16% ABV expression is part of Dassai’s classic range and is defined by fruit aromatics and delicate sweetness in a 720ml bottle.
Dassai 45 is a Junmai Daiginjo sake made with Yamada-Nishiki rice. The rice is polished to 45% of its original grain size, a key specification behind the expression’s name and refined style. It replaced the earlier Dassai 50 expression in 2019, with the additional polishing intended to further develop its aromatic and delicate character.
Clear in appearance, Dassai 45 opens with fruit-forward floral aromas alongside melon and apple. The taste combines delicate sweetness with apple, orange and pear notes, while the texture remains smooth and approachable. Its finish is soft and clean, giving the sake a fresh, neatly resolved close.
Dassai 45 suits chilled serving for sushi, sashimi and other lightly flavoured seafood dishes. Its fruit-led, delicate profile also makes it a natural choice for a relaxed Japanese meal or for sharing with drinkers exploring premium Junmai Daiginjo sake.
