Asahi Shuzo is one of the very few breweries that offers Junmai Daiginjo in multiple seimaibuai and keeps everything else remains roughly the same. As a result, you can experience how seimaibuai affects the end result. At 39% seimaibuai, it's priced right between the 50 and 39. Interestingly, it has slightly darker colour and bigger body than its siblings. Similarly nose with different finish. A little more forward than the 50 and 23 and sharp pineappley finish. — 7 years ago

It's on the sweet side, but still tolerable. Maybe a -1? Nice summer sake. — 7 years ago

Very light melon water, umami and very well balanced acidity through out the body compare to other Junmai Daiginjo which looses acidic balance.

Dassai "50" Junmai Daiginjo stands for remaining 50% polished "Yamada Nishiki" & "Omachi" rice.
It is Asahi shuzo's entry level sake.(they uses same name as Kubota sake's Asahi shuzo but it is different Brewery!!)

Great sake from Yamaguchi prefecture, Japan. — 7 years ago

I like this. Good combination of the sweet nigori and the drier filtered sake — best of both worlds! — 5 years ago

Not always my favourite on the table, but always solid. Dassai's like the Penfolds of sake - producing high quality beverages at a scale that's accessible to the multitude. In 2013, Asahi Shuzo, Dassai's brewery, sold 1.14 million bottles of sake, which is peanuts compared to what Treasury does, but no mean feat in a struggling sake industry. For me, Dassai is at least large enough to have reached little ol' Kuching, and to have been one of my first encounters with a Junmai Daiginjo.

I've always found Dassai's quite rich and it's no different here. Exotic nose of melons, pineapple, candied fruits even. Palate's like a fruit punch, plush but toned back by herbaceous notes and some acidity. Clean, lengthy finish. Very approachable. The best drink on the table this time. — 5 years ago

Very very nice sake at the offered price range. Lots of lovely character with smooth texture (almost like a condrieu). — 6 years ago
