Dassai Blue recently released its newest sake, Dassai Blue Type 23.
This release is the latest sake to be produced at the recently opened Dassai Blue Sake Brewery in Hyde Park, NY, serving as the U.S. extension of Japanese sake brand Dassai.
Dassai Blue Type 23, a Junmai Daiginjo sake crafted from Yamada Nishiki rice, is the flagship product of Dassai Blue. Upholding Dassai Blue’s commitment to craft production methods, Dassai Blue Type 23 is made batch-by-batch using handmade koji from the rice sourced from Japan.
“Dassai 23, Dassai’s flagship product, showcases a delicate yet powerful profile achieved through precise rice polishing—23% ratio, removing 77% of the outer layer. This craftsmanship underscores our dedication, propelling Dassai to Japan’s pinnacle,” said Dassai Chairman Hiroshi Sakurai. “We are confident that this new, American-made Dassai Blue Type 23, prepared in the esteemed Type 23 fashion will evoke fresh excitement in those who experience it.”
Dassai has experienced exponential growth in Japan, the U.S. and globally. Hiroshi and Kazuhiro Sakurai, the father and son, 3rd and 4th generation Dassai Chairman and President, refined the brand and expanded its markets, with Dassai Blue their biggest step into the global sake market. This venture aligns with Chairman Hiroshi Sakurai’s dream of sharing Dassai’s excellence with the world.
Dassai Blue Type 23 is available brewery and at other retailers for $79.99.
