In three words: Natural velvety luxury

Dassai DEX is an innovative evolution of the multi-award-winning Dassai 23, crafted to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern wellness. At its core is the discovery of Dassai Exosomes—natural particles born during the fermentation process that embody the traditional Japanese proverb: "Sake is the best of all medicines."

Throughout human history, fermented foods have been prized for their health-giving properties, driven by the unique microorganisms and beneficial substances created during the brewing cycle. By harnessing the legendary fermentation power of the Dassai brewery, Dassai DEX returns sake to its historic roots as a source of vitality.

It is more than just a premium drink; it is a focus on the biological power of fermentation, offering a sophisticated sake experience that honours the body as much as the palate.

In 3 words: Delicate Fruit Silkiness

Toku Junmai Daiginjo is the brand’s debut release and features Yamadanishiki rice, polished to a refined 35%, koji and spring water from Hokkaido’s Daisetsuzan mountain range, all fermented in the region’s freezing conditions to produce a fine premium sake. Delicate, inviting aromas of honeydew melon and peach complemented by creamier notes of warm baked apples. On tasting it’s light, but wonderfully silken with a round mid-palate. Nuanced Ginjo flavours segue into a chalky palate reminiscent of Grand Cru Champagne. The finish is sumptuously long. Well-balanced acidity gives way to gentle spice, whilst subtle yet developed umami provides structure and weight.

In 3 words: Bright, bold & citrus

This sake is an enigma. Brewed using the old yamahai method with Association. No. 7 yeast (discovered at Miyasaka Brewing in 1946), one might expect a rich punchy sake but no, something quite refined emerges from the glass, full of mineral notes and crispness, reminiscent of Pinot Grigio. High acidity helps to balance out the complex taste and leaves a refreshing clean finish. Recently the brew has been further upgraded by only using the finest middle part of the pressing (aka ‘Nakadori’) for even greater elegance.

This Daiginjo is brewed with Yamadanishiki rice milled to an eye-watering 30% then aged at 1°C for roughly two years, the brewers undoubtedly extract out the limits umami and depth of flavour.

Pretty rich yet delicate nose of lime chutney and fennel seeds. Pleasant and elegant acidity explode in the palate with the notes of yuzu and lemon curd. Completely different impression from the nose and the palate. It is quite complex sake yet smooth, pure and light. Skinny and long finish with a touch of cacao.
