DASSAI 39 獺祭 純米大吟醸39 720ml

Brewed by Asahi Shuzo (旭酒造) in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Dassai 39 Junmai Daiginjo (獺祭 39) represents the perfect balance within the acclaimed Dassai range — richer and more expressive than Dassai 45, yet fresher and lighter than the ultra-polished 23.

Made with Japan’s finest Yamada Nishiki rice, polished down to 39 %, it opens with alluring aromas of ripe melon, white peach, and lychee, leading to a smooth, medium-bodied palate. Gentle sweetness and delicate acidity intertwine beautifully, finishing long, clean, and elegant — a hallmark of Dassai’s artistry.
