Dassai
Dassai is the sake most Hong Kong drinkers can name, and it is also the one most often misread. The numbers on the labels, 45, 39 and 23, are polishing ratios: the percentage of each rice grain left after milling. A 23 has had 77 percent of every grain ground away. That is a statement about cost and precision, not a grade of quality, and the brewery itself has said as much.
The range is deliberately narrow. Every bottle here is junmai daiginjo, meaning rice, water, koji and yeast only, with no added brewing alcohol, and a polishing ratio of at least 50 percent. Dassai 45 is the everyday bottle, 39 sits in the middle, and 23 is the most polished and the most delicate. Alongside them sit a sparkling nigori, a cloudy unpasteurised version, and small-run bottlings.
Polishing more removes protein and fat, which removes savoury weight along with the rough edges. If you are drinking sake with roast goose or a heavily seasoned dish, the cheaper 45 usually holds the table better than the 23. Formats run from 30cl to 180cl.
