Description
This sake is a 'nigori' style, meaning it is lightly filtered and naturally fermented in the bottle to create a lively, elegant 'fizz'. It presents a milky white, opaque appearance with a thick and creamy mouthfeel. The aroma is fragrant and fruity, featuring notes of white grape, cereal with milk, and toasted chestnut. On the palate, it offers refined flavours of almond milk, pear, and underripe melon, balanced by a full-bodied umami and a long, dry finish. It has an alcohol by volume of 13.5% and is best enjoyed well-chilled.
Food Pairing
The creamy texture and vibrant carbonation of Dassai 45 Sparkling make it a versatile partner for a variety of dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with rich or fried appetizers such as prawn tempura, baked brie, and deviled eggs. Its refreshing acidity also complements seafood pasta, steamed mussels, and poached white fish. For a sweet conclusion, it is a delightful match for strawberry cheesecake or fresh fruit tarts.
