Asahi-Shuzo Sake Brewing Co.
Dassai Composing the Future Junmai Daiginjo

Dassai Composing the Future (獺祭 未来を作曲)
Brewery: Dassai / Asahi Shuzo, Iwakuni, Yamaguchi, Japan
Classification: Junmai Daiginjo
Rice: Yamada Nishiki
Polishing: Undisclosed
ABV: 16%
Release: Limited special bottling
Brewer description: A special Dassai project built around the idea of “composing the future,” bringing sake and music together. The brewery focuses on harmony, complexity and the evolution of flavors rather than defining the sake by a specific polishing ratio.
Tasted at Sake Day SF — 9/26/2026. Rating is limited since the same glass was reused throughout the tasting, making it difficult to get a truly clean tasting and accurate read on the aromas.
Excellent. All four of these higher-end Dassai expressions were standouts.
