DASSAI Future – with Farmers 720ml

Dassai made from Yamada Nishiki tōgai-mai (rice classified outside the standard grading), polished down to 8%. Because it is unclassified and lacks a defined shinpaku (starchy core), we polished it to the utmost limit possible. Even for highly skilled farmers, about 10% of harvested rice ends up as tōgai-mai, which cannot be used to make sake with a designated classification, creating an economic burden for growers. This sake was created to address that challenge.
Contrary to what one might expect from such extreme polishing — a clear, transparent sake quality — it instead reveals a powerful and distinctive character.
