Product description
Dassai's 45 Nigori Daiginjo is not only one of th ebest nigori sakes money can buy, it happens to be one of the least expensive. Little wonder it's rarely in stock on our shelves for more than a week!
As you'd expect, Dassai crafts one of the most exquisite, and ethereal nigori sakes you can find. If you're new to the category, nigori sakes include a small amount of rice lees from the brewing process in every bottle. Ranging in style from opaque and milky to gauzy translucence, nigori sakes can be unbalanced at their worst or ephemeral and sublime at their best.

“Dassai” literally means "otter festival". This is a word that was used long ago in their region, Yamaguchi Prefecture, as there were many otters frolicking in the nearby rivers. Otters would lay out on the shore fishes they caught, almost as if they are showing them off – like one would do during in a festival.
