Dassai Blue “50” Nigori
Yamaguchi prefecture
Spotlight on Yamadanishiki rice
As a brand that exclusively produces junmai daiginjo made with Yamadanishiki rice, Dassai Blue presents a nigori that maintains their signature elegance. By carefully balancing the amount of lees (rice sediment from the mash) with Dassai Blue “50,” they give this delicate sake a little bit more body and texture. Take in its notes of pear and melon, and feel free to pair it with any meal!
