The Grand Volume of Purity: Dassai 39 Junmai Daiginjo (1.8L).
Dassai 39 is a premium Junmai Daiginjo sake, a masterpiece crafted by the Asahi Shuzo brewery. This impressive 1.8L format is perfect for sharing or special occasions. The number ’39’ proudly indicates that the finest Yamadanishiki rice has been polished down to an impressive 39% of its original grain size, resulting in a liquid of extraordinary purity and finesse. This expression achieves a perfect balance between the delicate notes of Dassai 23 and the approachability of Dassai 45.
​Tasting Notes:
​Nose: Delicate and inviting aromas of melon, pear, and apple, intermingled with subtle floral notes.
​Palate: Incredibly smooth and mellow, delivering a rush of lush, fruit-basket flavors with a subtle, honeyed sweetness. Its elegant, wine-like acidity ensures a beautifully balanced structure.
​Finish: Clean, long, and exceptionally refreshing.
​How to Enjoy:
To fully appreciate its complex and fruity profile, Dassai 39 is best served chilled (around 10–12 °C) in a wine glass. It is a superb pairing for high-quality seafood, sushi, sashimi, and light appetizers.
