Brooklyn Kura - Occidental Dry-hopped Junmai Sake 750ml

Brooklyn Kura Occidental Dry-hopped Junmai Sake offers a bold bridge between the worlds of craft beer, fine wine, and traditional Japanese brewing. This innovative batch is handcrafted in New York City. It captures the hearts of IPA lovers and rose wine drinkers alike. Unlike traditional styles, Occidental pours with a stunning rose hue that catches the light beautifully in a glass.

The production process is truly unique. It begins as a single yeast Junmai. Once the fermentation ends and the liquid is pressed, the brewers gently dry-hop the sake. This clever method pulls out the vivid aromatics of the hops without adding the bitterness often found in beer. The result is a drink that is aromatic and full of tropical fruit notes.

When you take a sip, you are greeted by a vibrant nose of grapefruit zest. The texture is velvet smooth and feels light on the body. A lightly honeyed character develops on the mid-palate, but the wine remains decidedly dry. It finishes with a clean note of citrus rind that invites another taste. At fourteen percent alcohol, it is refreshing and infinitely drinkable. This sake represents a new tradition of American craft. It is best enjoyed chilled at white wine temperatures. Whether you are a sake expert or a newcomer, this botanical-driven bottle provides a sophisticated and accessible experience for any occasion.
