DassaiBlue。
ニューヨークにはニューヨークの最高の獺祭がある。

Introducing Dassai Blue—the finest Dassai, crafted in New York for New York and the wide world.
To stand alongside wine and champagne on the global stage, Dassai has established a brewery and tasting room in Hyde Park, New York.
This location produces Dassai’s American brand, Dassai Blue, a premium sake crafted from 100% Yamada Nishiki rice, revered as the gold standard for sake.
Currently sourced from Japan, the rice will soon include American-grown Yamada Nishiki. In line with Dassai’s commitment to sustainability, efforts are also underway to reduce carbon emissions and create an eco-friendly supply chain.
The Dassai Blue brewery spans 55,000 square feet, with an annual production capacity of up to 140,000 cases. It brings together experienced artisans from Japan and local New York staff to handcraft sake with the utmost care.
As the website for Dassai Blue states, “Our goal is not to simply replicate a Japanese brewery in New York to cut logistics costs. Instead, with the same commitment to 100% Yamada Nishiki and Junmai Daiginjo, we aim to craft the finest sake using the waters of the Hudson Valley, inspired by the unique environment of New York.” This vision embodies Dassai’s unwavering dedication to excellence.
When the New York brewery was announced in 2023, Chairman Sakurai reflected, “Our expansion into sake-making in the U.S. fulfills a dream I had when Dassai was introduced 30 years ago—an important step toward sharing Dassai with the world.” With each new step, Dassai moves ever closer to its goal of becoming a truly global sake.
