Thank you for sharing your experience! Dassai 45 is light and dry Japanese clean sake, if you would like a stronger taste under the same brand, we would recommend Dassai 23 as a rich and sweet taste with undeniable finish.

If you would like a similar clean taste, stronger finish with different, we would suggest Wakatake "Onikoroshi" Junmai Daiginjo. It is velvety texture with crisp note. Please check it out as well!

“This is the second time I have tried the Dassai 45 and this was the first premium sake that I introduced to my hitherto non-sake drinking friends. They absolutely loved it and they didn't realize that sake could have such "complex flavor profiles". The Dassai 45 really piqued their interest and I think it could be a great way to introduce premium sake to those who don't really have much experience drinking sake.”
Thank you so much for the suggestion! As you mentioned that Dassai 45 has 'complex flavor profiles', it is very clean, smooth and easier to drink for non-sake drinking people for sure. We are glad that you had a great time and appreciate your experience!
“Aroma of fruit and floral notes. On the palate quite round and smooth with a moderate lingering taste. Highly recommended especially as an aperitif or with lighter foods.”
