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!
