Dassai 39 Junmai Daiginjo Sake 720ml

Dassai is brewed by DASSAI Inc., formerly Asahi Shuzo, in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The company was established in 1948 and is led by CEO Kazuhiro Sakurai. Dassai 39 belongs to the brewery's Classics line, alongside Dassai 23 and Dassai 45.

It is a Junmai Daiginjo brewed from top-grade Yamada-Nishiki rice, grown by contracted farms across several prefectures and polished to 39%. It is 16% alcohol.

It's luscious and juicy, with melon and floral notes, a nectar-like sweetness and a long, bright finish. In style it sits between the 23 and the 45.

Against Dassai 45, the 39 is polished further, to 39% rather than 45%; for a special dinner or a gift, choose Dassai 39.

Serve it chilled at 50 to 54°F. Keep it refrigerated, drink it within a month of purchase and finish it within a week of opening. Pour it with sashimi, sushi or delicate seafood.
