Hyde Park, NY (May 1, 2026) — DASSAI USA INC. is pleased to announce the launch of its newest product, DASSAI BLUE Yuzu, available beginning May 1, 2026. Crafted at the DASSAI BLUE Sake Brewery in Hyde Park, New York, this new release offers a vibrant and approachable way to experience sake.
Made from our signature Junmai Daiginjo, brewed exclusively with Yamada Nishiki—the “King of sake rice”—DASSAI BLUE Yuzu brings a new expression to our Type 50. By blending this refined sake with yuzu juice sourced from Yuzuco, known for its high-quality citrus along with water and a touch of sugar, the result is a beautifully balanced, lower-alcohol (11% ABV) sake that highlights both craftsmanship and approachability.
The renowned depth and layered complexity of DASSAI BLUE are elevated by the bright, refreshing acidity of yuzu—a prized Japanese citrus known for its elegant fragrance and delicate balance of gentle sweetness and crisp, lemon-like brightness.
A New Way to Experience Sake
DASSAI BLUE Yuzu was created to make sake more approachable and enjoyable in everyday moments. Whether new to sake or a longtime enthusiast, this expression is designed to inspire discovery and connection through a single glass.
Flavor Profile
The signature aromatic richness and layered depth of DASSAI BLUE are beautifully complemented by the crisp acidity of yuzu. The result is a light, graceful palate that opens gently and lingers with a clean, refreshing finish.
*Yuzu, a traditional Japanese citrus, is known for its delicate balance of lemon-like brightness and subtle sweetness, adding both lift and complexity to the sake.
