Sasara Tsuki Gassan Junmai Sake: Light, Sweet and Refreshingly Smooth

Sasara Tsuki, meaning "Whispering Moon," Junmai Sake is crafted by Gassan Shuzo in Yamagata Prefecture, a region celebrated for its pristine snowmelt spring water and high quality sake rice. Using locally grown rice polished to 65%, this junmai sake offers a gentle sweetness and soft texture, resulting in an approachable and easy drinking expression ideal for both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts.

On the nose, it opens with delicate aromas of apple, steamed rice, and a whisper of melon, layered with subtle floral nuances.The palate is smooth and rounded, with flavors of soft cereal grain, fresh rice, and mild sweetness balanced by gentle acidity. With an ABV of just 10.5 to 11%, it feels light yet flavorful and highly refreshing.

The finish is clean, soft, and lingering, leaving behind a refined impression of sweetness and purity.

Fermented at low temperatures and brewed with meticulous care, Sasara Tsuki reflects Gassan’s craftsmanship and dedication to clarity and drinkability. It was recognized with the Gold Award in the Low Alcohol category at both the Bishu Concours 2023 and the Japan Women’s Sake Awards 2024.
