Dassai Blue Sake Brewery

Fantastic experience at this new, spacious sake brewery! The grounds are beautiful and pristine, with a large amount of parking. They offer guided tours, but we opted to stop in for a tasting instead. Although on the pricey side, there is a lot of history with this brand, and products had a delicious taste. Francesca was extremely kind and gracious, answering all of our questions and guiding us through the tasting process. Highly recommended and cannot wait to return!

Awesome brewery for sake They have flights so you can try a variety. You can take tours if you want. We came for drinks and the Sushi 🍣. They have a chef preparing it in the spot with the same type of rice used for sake 🍶. The staff was nice some were new so there was a little wait for the drinks. The grounds are beautiful. In the summer it's great to be on the outside drinking and having good conversations.

While dining in the CIA this past weekend, we decided to visit a sake brewery. Having been to countless wineries, distilleries, and beer breweries, sake was a first for us. Tasting was $51/person via online booking, which came with 3 glasses of tasting (generous pour), and a choice of food selection including a cheese plate, trout, and duck. We opted to upgrade 2 portions to the sushi (extra $15/person) and shared that amongst the five of us, which worked out perfectly. I’d suggest the marketing team drop the $1 booking fee or build that into the total as it seemed a bit petty to ask for that. Our tour guide, Francesca, was very knowledgeable and encouraged us to ask questions. For someone that has traveled to 95 countries, I definitely learned something new about the sake-making process. The tasting itself was well organized - the three sake choices were very tasty and the five of us all found a “grade” that suited our needs. A very nice bonus for the management team for recognizing that we were there during their “festival/open house” weekend, so each of us received a bottle of the 50 for free. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and even got to take part in the “festival” by making origami. But I could see this place being overwhelmed if the weather becomes nicer.

I recently visited the Dassai Blue Brewery in New York, and it was a delightful experience. Having first tried Dassai White in Japan, I was excited to see the expansion here. The brewery offers a fantastic selection that maintains the high quality and smoothness I loved in Japan. It’s a must-visit for any sake enthusiast in the area!

I had a fantastic experience visiting the sake brewery! Our guide, Celerena, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate—she walked us through every step of the sake brewing process with clear explanations and fascinating insights. I walked away with a much deeper appreciation for the craft and tradition behind sake. Highly recommend this tour to anyone curious about how sake is made or just looking for a unique and informative experience.

We had a lovely time visiting Dassai and learned so much about the production of sake on the tour! The tasting was amazing and we enjoyed the small plates provided through the partnership with CIA very much! We look forward to visiting again soon!

I’ve been here twice, and the sake pairing is amazing. I tried the flight of three, and their signature Type 23 was my favorite. The food—sushi, cheese & meat plate, and the Lady M Dassai Blue Mille Crêpes cake, was all delicious and matched perfectly with the sake. The atmosphere is calm, spacious, and surrounded by greenery. The first time I visited, the service was excellent. But on my second visit, it felt a bit unwelcoming and disorganized, which was disappointing compared to the first experience.

My wife and I did a distillery tour of Dassai Blue today which came with a sake flight and sushi pairing. We had an amazing time and hope to return again soon. Our tour guide, Celerina, was super knowledgeable about their impressive craft of making sake and was great at walking us through our sake tasting. The tavern space, sake facility and grounds at Dassai Blue are all a sight to be seen. It's a beautiful environment that's definitely worth a visit!
