DASSAI Future - with Farmers
DASSAI
The “Future with Farmers” series by DASSAI celebrates the deep connection between brewer and grower. Even the finest Yamada Nishiki rice produces 5–10% “Togai,” rice considered out-of-grade, which farmers have traditionally had to sell at very low prices. Through years of experimentation, DASSAI discovered a unique brewing method that transforms this Togai rice into something exceptional. The result is a luscious, expressive sake that honours both the rice and the farmers’ dedication. More than a drink, it’s a testament to craftsmanship, respect, and innovation, turning what was once overlooked into a celebrated part of the Dassai family.
