Brooklyn Kura “Blue Door”
New York
Welcome to the taproom
Named for the iconic entrance of the Brooklyn Kura taproom, “Blue Door” is fermented at a slightly warmer temperature than their ginjo, making it stout, earthy and dry. It’s left unpasteurized, giving it life and vibrancy. Serve chilled and enjoy soon after opening to get the most out of its subtle notes of banana and melon. Pair this sake with rich dishes such as grilled tuna steak, smoky cheese, and steak with fries.
