AboutDassai
Dassai is a sake brewery in Yamaguchi whose history dates to 1910. Its name evokes a “festival of otters”, an expression from local history. Brewing centres on Yamada-Nishiki rice and careful polishing. Instead of relying on a single master brewer, the brewery shares responsibility across a team, combining measurement with skilled hands-on work throughout production.

Vivid aromas of cantaloupe, white peach, green grape, pear and apricot rise from the glass, with softer notes of strawberry and rice beneath. The palate is velvety and layered, carrying ripe orchard and tropical fruit through a smooth, gently rounded texture. Lychee, stewed apple and a quiet mochi-like note shape the finish. Serve well chilled with sashimi, shellfish or delicate vegetable dishes.
