Dassai 45 Nigori Junmai Daiginjo is a premium Japanese sake produced by the Asahi Shuzo Brewery, located in the Yamaguchi Prefecture of Japan. It is a unique variation of the Dassai 45 Junmai Daiginjo that incorporates the traditional Japanese brewing method of nigori, which involves leaving some of the rice sediment in the sake after it is pressed.

The sake is characterized by a rich and complex flavor profile, with a balanced sweetness and a smooth, clean finish. It has a subtle fruitiness, with notes of melon, pear, and banana, and a hint of umami that is typical of high-quality sake. Overall, Dassai 45 Nigori Junmai Daiginjo is a unique and highly sought-after sake that is often served as a special occasion drink or as a gift to those who appreciate fine sake.

The epitome of purity, this sake is more subtle and nuanced than most highly aromatic Junmai Daiginjos. It is based on the ideals of Zen Buddhism and "wabi-sabi," the belief that beauty within the arts should be as understated and pure as a simple strand of pearls. One of two sakes brewed in exactly the same way with the same ingredients, except this one is a Junmai Daignjo and Tears of Dawn has added distilled alcohol to open up aromatics. Aromas of white flower and Asian pear followed by clean flavors of honeydew, lemon, and a hint of licorice. Finishes elegantly with rich minerality and rice texture. This is a great sipping sake but also a wonderful companion to scallops, pork, and light meats. -

Kirin (= Kirin-zan) in Tsugawa, Niigata. Kirin is a mythical creature much like a flying unicorn, is believed to bring about happiness and luck. Food pairing:- Matches well with most of Japanese dishes, especially when served room temp or lukewarm, including raw/lightly grilled fish and shrimps, tofu, simmered vegetable, and sunomono.
- Bacon-wrapped Scallops - “The Classic” is paired with the soft, rich, nuttiness of the seared Sea Scallop because of the ricey, nutty aromas of the sake. The crispy, salty outer rim of seared bacon needs the strong more intensely forward flavors that the sake provides.
