Dassai Sake

Dassai is one of the most popular premium sake brands in the world and a staff favourite here at London Sake. The range is produced by Asahi Shuzo (not to be confused with the beer!) in the beautiful Yamaguchi prefecture, on the Soutwest coast of Japan. At Asahi, the team is deeply passionate about consciously producing, high quality sake that is accessible to everyone..

The numbers used in the signature range - Dassai 45, Dassai 39 & Dassai 23 - refer to the high polishing ratio of the rice used, which leads to a deliciously clean, fruity and aromatic style. These sake are recognised for pairing well with a range of foods and dishes.

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.
