Tasting Notes

Dassai 23 Hayata is a refined, modern interpretation of the iconic Dassai 23. What sets this sake apart is the application of the “Hayata Method”, a low-temperature pasteurization technique named after microbiologist Dr. Eiji Hayata, who pioneered the use of fine carbon dioxide bubbles to preserve freshness while gently stabilizing the sake. This innovative process helps retain delicate aromatics while gently suppressing unwanted microbes, resulting in a cleaner, brighter flavor profile with a subtle natural sparkle.

Expect layered notes of Williams pear, white pepper, and a gentle floral lift, followed by soft hints of grape, melon, and tropical fruit. The mouthfeel is silky and pure, finishing with precision and a quiet liveliness that reflects both technical innovation and Dassai’s commitment to elegance.

A fusion of craftsmanship and microbiological precision, Dassai 23 Hayata Junmai Daiginjo pays homage to Dr. Hayata’s sterilization method, offering a fresh, vibrant sake that stands out for its clarity, subtle sparkle, and technical mastery.
