Dassai 45

Polished to 45% and made from Yamada Nishiki, it delivers clean fruit aromatics, balanced sweetness, and a smooth finish at its price tier. It reaches 16% ABV with a sake meter value of +3 and a low acidity of 1.2. As the brewery's highest-volume expression, it introduced a very large international audience to premium sake and functions as the accessible foundation of the Dassai range, sitting below the more heavily polished 39 and 23.
