Bottles of Dassai 23 sake are seen at Asahi Shuzo Co's facility in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, on July 7, 2022. A Japanese sake maker is going where no sake maker has gone before: space.

Asahi Shuzo also said it prepared ingredients for brewing about 1,000 720-milliliter bottles’ worth of sake from the Dassai Beyond the Beyond collection but filled only 23 bottles with the sake.
