Dassai 39 15% 0,72L
Product characteristics
Dassai 39 is brewed in Japan by Asahi Shuzo using Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 39%. This junmai daiginjo sits gracefully between the crystalline precision of Dassai 23 and the fruit-forward charm of Dassai 45, revealing the signature Dassai style – silky, expressive, and remarkably pure. It offers a sensory experience of quiet luxury, appealing to both seasoned sake enthusiasts and those new to this style who appreciate harmony and delicacy.
Dassai 39 is best served chilled at 8-10°C in a white wine glass to highlight its aroma and smooth texture. It pairs beautifully with sushi, sashimi, and grilled white fish. The subtle umami and gentle sweetness also complement creamy dishes like crab risotto, scallops, or foie gras. For an elegant Japanese pairing, try it with tempura or lightly grilled eel, and for Western cuisine, think lobster bisque, soft cheeses, or truffle pasta.
