A series of floods and mudslides devastated extensive areas of western Japan in July, among the victims was popular sake maker Asahi Shuzo Co., Ltd. They suffered heavy damage of over 900,000 bottles, causing a market panic and price inflation on internet sales. The sake that was unaffected by the flooding was marketed under a different brand name, Dassai Shima Kosaku, to help the recovery of the disaster-stricken region. These bottles were produced in collaboration with manga artist Kenshi Hirokane who designed the bottle label. Silks Club chairman SHAO also acquired some of the limited-edition bottles to support those affected.
One year on, the hotel and the brewery have established strong business relationships. The premium sake brought into southern Taiwan by Silks Club is shipped by temperature-controlled air freight to ensure quality. Kazuhiro SAKURAI, the CEO of Dassai, visited Taiwan twice a year and selected two hotel staff to be trained in Hong Kong to ensure its true essence remains intact. The chosen employees, serving as Dassai ambassadors at the hotel, share their knowledge about Japanese alcohol with Dassai enthusiasts in the country. Shao Yung-Tien, chairman of YUIMOM Group and Silks Club, threw his full support behind the brewery by promising that they would not increase the price of Dassai sake. He is committed to delivering the brewery's core value that every sip of Dassai brings happiness.
The Dassai bar at Silks Club offers a range of sake, including Dassai Sparking 50, Dassai 39, Dassai 23, Dassai 39 Hayata, Dassai 23 Hayata, Dassai 39 Centrifuge, Dassai 23 Centrifuge, the premium collection Dassai Beyond is also available. "The Dassai sake is lithe in texture with aromas and flavours that bloom exquisitely in the mouth, followed by a stunning length of finish", says CEO Kazuhiro SAKURAI. He also adds that these brews are 2-3 times higher in amino acids than red or white wine, a fact which has attracted many female drinkers as amino acids are beneficial to the skin. Unparalleled smoothness and clean, complex flavours engulf the entire palate - be prepared for a sake experience beyond all your expectations.
