At Buddha’s, we pride ourselves on offering the best sake, handpicked by our team. One brand that stands out, both for its quality and the personal touch it adds to our dining experience, is Dassai. This premium sake has captured the hearts of sake lovers worldwide, including our very own Nicole, whose personal favorite is Dassai Blue.
What Makes Dassai Special?
Dassai is not just any sake; it’s a meticulously crafted premium brand that represents the pinnacle of Japanese sake-making. Imported directly from Japan, Dassai is known for its purity and refined flavors. At Buddha’s, we’ve taken the time to curate a selection of Dassai sakes, so you can experience the complexity and subtlety that makes this brand a favorite.
- Dassai 45:
Known for its floral and fruity notes, Dassai 45 is a beautifully balanced sake that’s perfect for pairing with lighter dishes like sashimi or nigiri. - Dassai 23:
This highly refined sake is one of the most exclusive in the world, with a smooth, delicate flavor that’s ideal for special occasions or to complement high-end cuts like toro or Wagyu. - Dassai Blue
Nicole’s personal favorite, Dassai Blue, is an all-around great sake for those new to the world of sake. Its light, refreshing taste pairs wonderfully with sushi rolls or even more savory dishes like our Wagyu Teriyaki Burger.
Nicole’s Love for Dassai
Nicole’s passion for Dassai goes beyond its taste. For her, Dassai represents the same level of care and detail that we put into our dishes at Buddha’s. Just as we ensure every ingredient in our food is top-notch, Dassai ensures every batch of their sake is refined to perfection. Dassai Blue, in particular, has become her go-to recommendation for anyone looking to explore the world of premium sake.
As part of our efforts to elevate your dining experience, Nicole plans to host sake-tasting events featuring Dassai, where guests can explore the full range of this exceptional brand. We believe these tastings will not only educate our guests about the intricacies of sake but also deepen their appreciation for this special drink.
The Sake Tasting Experience
At Buddha’s, we offer a personalized sake-tasting experience where our guests can sample a variety of Dassai sakes. Our staff will guide you through each pour, explaining the unique characteristics and flavor profiles of each sake. Whether you’re new to sake or a seasoned enthusiast, our tasting experience will introduce you to new flavors and help you discover your own favorite.
In addition to our in-house tastings, we’re also planning to expand our sake menu to feature exclusive Dassai bottles that are harder to find elsewhere. This will make Buddha’s a destination for sake lovers and elevate our status as a premium sushi restaurant.
Why Dassai Should Be Part of Your Meal
Pairing Dassai with sushi is a match made in heaven. The delicate, balanced flavors of Dassai enhance the natural sweetness of fresh fish, creating a harmonious dining experience. Our guests love pairing Dassai 45 with lighter dishes like our salmon sashimi or tuna nigiri, while Dassai 23 is perfect for our more indulgent offerings, like toro or uni.
Dassai’s versatility also makes it a great option for those who might be hesitant about sake. Its smooth finish and nuanced flavors are approachable for first-timers, yet complex enough for connoisseurs.
Final Thoughts
At Buddha’s, we believe Dassai is more than just a sake—it’s a symbol of excellence, refinement, and the art of Japanese craftsmanship. Nicole’s passion for this brand is reflected in our menu, and we’re proud to offer Dassai as part of our curated sake selection. Join us for a sake flight or attend one of our upcoming tasting events to experience Dassai for yourself.
