Brooklyn Kura “Catskills”
New York
You’ll be singing from the mountaintop
Named for the Catskill Mountains, the source of Brooklyn Kura’s excellent water, this junmai daiginjo is delicate with a smooth texture. Bask in fresh fruit flavors with a kiss of vanilla, followed by a well-balanced acidity on the finish. If pairing with food, put out a plate of something equally delicate, such as raw oysters or fresh cantaloupe. Enjoy this expressive take on the most highly polished category of sake!

Brooklyn Kura
Brooklyn Kura is committed to creating a new tradition of American craft sake. Owner Brian Polen and “toji” (brewmaster) Brandon Doughan met in Japan and found they both shared the goal of making a true craft American sake. After experimenting for a few years, they officially opened their taproom in Brooklyn, New York, in 2018. Since its opening, Brooklyn Kura has been very fortunate to get advice from some of Japan’s top breweries, such as Hakkaisan, Nanbu Bijin, Rihaku, and many others. It is with great honor and dedication that the folks at Brooklyn Kura bring their special brand of sake to the world.
