This Dassai “Dry” product is born in the USA with American ingredients, and is made for the US market. And that is driving sake drinkers in Japan crazy, because they cant’s get it! The nose on this very special sake is a cool collection of pear, apple, sourdough, young mango, citrus, rosehip, and asian pear aromas. Imagine all the fruit flavor and body of a typical Dassai, and now think dry. They managed to keep the feeling and Daiginjo flavor, but somehow made it dry. Clean, light, silky, slippery, water-like with a medium body, crisp, refreshing, and with a fantastic quick dry phantom finish. Maybe the best finish in American made sake. A smaller cup brings forth more fruit like pear, melon, strawberry, and white peach. A mid-sized cup brings more balance with asian pear and a touch of mint. And a wine glass brings the best balance with berries, papaya, finger lime, and a very nice integrated acidity highlighting a buoyant umami driven flow. This “Dry” might be the most umami-forward Dassai product. Light, refreshing, flavorful and dry, this Dassai will make Japan jealous on many levels. \u003cstrong\u003eWORD: \u003c\/strong\u003eDry \u003cstrong\u003eWINE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light Reds\/Mineral Whites \u003cstrong\u003eBEER: \u003c\/strong\u003eLight Ales\u003cstrong\u003e FOODS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sushi, sashimi, yakitori, shabu shabu, grilled meats, grilled fish, izakaya and pub fare, cheese plates, crab, lobster, caviar, oysters with lemon, and light pastas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JFC","offers":[{"title":"375ml","offer_id":47082694476019,"sku":"DG328-04","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"720ml","offer_id":47633787486451,"sku":"DG328-02","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7601\/files\/DG328-04_DassaiBlueType50DRYJunmaiDaiginjo_375ml_WM.png?v=1750729338"},{"product_id":"dassai-blue-nigori","title":"Dassai Blue Type 50 \"NIGORI\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe nose on this New York version of the coarsely filtered cloudy sake is a fun gathering of cream soda, lemon curd, whipped cream, condensed milk, cream cheese, mozzarella, oatmeal, honey, melon, and sake kasu aromas.

Smooth, off-dry, refreshing, creamy-lite, spritzy, slippery, bright, fresh, and water-like. Look for Clementine, sake kasu, lime, steamed rice, mochi, bamboo, sparkling water, Asian pear, powdered sugar, sweet corn, and cherry flavors that work best in a wine glass to capture the complexity and dryness.
