Dassai Blue, located in Hyde Park, is the new state-of-the-art sake brewery from the prestigious Japanese sake brand Dassai.
Over the past thirty years, Dassai has experienced exponential growth in Japan, the U.S.and globally. Hiroshi and Kazuhiro Sakurai, the father and son, 3rd and 4th generation Chairman and President, have tirelessly refined Dassai and expanded its markets. The New York brewery is the latest bold step into the global sake market.
A Junmai Daiginjo-only sake, Dassai is considered the highest level of premium sake. Made from 100% Yamada Nishiki rice, the gold standard of sake rice, Dassai still utilizes craft sake methods, making sake batch-by-batch, using handmade koji, and fermenting in each small tank.
