Dassai has done more than almost any brewery to introduce the world to junmai daiginjo, and the 45 is where that story usually begins. The rice here has been polished down to only 45%, stripping away the outer layers that carry protein and fat so that what remains is clean, aromatic and precise.
The result generously gives you a flavourful mouthfeel and a smooth texture, along with a refreshing finish that leaves you wanting the next sip. It is brewed from Yamadanishiki, the most prized sake rice of all, at 16% alcohol, with an SMV of +3 and acidity of 1.5.
Serve it chilled in a wine glass rather than warmed, so the aromatics have room. It suits sashimi, oysters, steamed fish, light chicken dishes and fresh cheese. From Yamaguchi Prefecture. Limited stocks.
