Dassai Blue 50 Junmai daiginjo Nigori 720ML

Dassai Blue 50 Junmai Daiginjo Nigori is a remarkable cloudy sake from Asahi Shuzo's brand-new Hyde Park, New York brewery — built from the ground up to bring the legendary Dassai philosophy to American shores using pristine local spring water. This expression uses 100% Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 50%, the hallmark threshold for Junmai Daiginjo quality, and is bottled in its naturally cloudy unfiltered form. The pour is silky and pearl-white, with gentle natural texture from suspended rice solids that adds remarkable creaminess. On the nose, expect sweet melon, soft white peach, steamed rice, and a subtle floral lift. The palate is rich and rounded with delicate sweetness, balanced acidity, and a smooth, lingering finish that gives a sense of fresh fruit and rice cake. Best served well-chilled in a small glass or wine glass to fully appreciate the aromatics. Pair it with sushi, sashimi, scallop crudo, spicy Korean dishes, or even a fresh fruit dessert — Nigori's gentle sweetness handles a remarkable range.
