Frequently asked
What is Dassai?
Distinctive premium sake brand from Asahi Shuzo (Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan). Widely regarded as one of Japan's finest sake producers globally.

The number (23, 39, 45) refers to seimaibuai (rice polishing ratio) — the percentage of rice grain remaining after polishing. Lower numbers = more polished = more premium.

What is Junmai Daiginjo?
Highest sake category — Junmai (pure rice, no added alcohol) + Daiginjo (rice polished to 50% or less). Distinctive refined character. Dassai polishes even further than the minimum standard.
