Banyan Tree Dubai’s TakaHisa introduces rare Dassai sake
Japanese restaurant becomes only venue in Middle East to serve ultra-limited bottles
Banyan Tree Dubai’s award-winning Japanese restaurant TakaHisa has become the first venue in the Middle East to serve the rarest releases from prestigious sake producer Dassai.
To mark the occasion, TakaHisa welcomed Dassai Chairman Hiroshi Sakurai, who joined guests in celebrating the arrival of three extremely limited editions now available exclusively at the restaurant.
The showcase includes Dassai Ambition, with only 120 bottles worldwide; Dassai Beyond the Beyond, limited to just 23 bottles; and a Magnum of Dassai Beyond the Beyond, one of only 10 in existence.
Each is crafted with the highest-grade sake rice and transported directly from Japan to Dubai.
Enhancing the experience, TakaHisa presents sake through the Tomim freezing method, a pioneering process that rapidly chills the liquid to –30°C, preserving optimal taste and aroma.

During his visit, Sakurai sampled TakaHisa’s acclaimed Omakase menu, led by chefs Takashi Namekata and Hisao Ueda, and praised it as “the finest Japanese cuisine I’ve ever tasted outside of Japan.”
He added: “I am truly delighted to see Dassai’s most heartfelt creations served at such an exceptional restaurant.”
Chefs Takashi Namekata and Hisao Ueda, after whom TakaHisa is named, are known for sourcing premium seafood from Tokyo’s Toyosu Fish Market and the rarest A5 Kobe beef and celebrated for their meticulous presentations and sophisticated pairings.
Located on Bluewaters Island, TakaHisa has been recognised by the Michelin Guide since 2022 and awarded three toques by Gault&Millau.
