Dassai 45 Junmai Sake
$58.99
The popular Dassai “50” was replaced by Dassai “45” in 2019 by polishing the rice a bit more. And even though it is the most affordable of their lineup, it belongs to the highest premium sake category with no brewer's alcohol added.

Love its harmony between sweetness, acidity, and umami, which makes it enjoyable on its own or as a complement to various dishes.

Translation from the Producer's Website
"Hiroshima Ginjo Sake was born from the soft water brewing method established by Miura Senzaburo and the rice polishing technology of Satake (Higashihiroshima City), which developed Japan's first powered rice polishing machine. After more than 120 years, Ginjo Sake is opening the door to a new stage. The focus of innovation is on the shape of the rice. From the traditional method of polishing rice into a spherical shape, to a thin, flat polishing (Shingin). The latest rice polishing machine has achieved the same protein reduction rate with 60% polishing as the traditional 40% polishing. Each bottle of directly drawn raw sake is carefully bottle-pasteurized and stored in bottles, preserving the fresh flavor of freshly pressed sake."
