Brooklyn Kura, Junmai Ginjo Sake 'Ashokan' 750ml

Junmai Ginjo Sake 

Brooklyn, New York

Made with 100% domestically-grown sake brewers rice (Yamada Nishiki), this Junmai Ginjo is light bodied, crisp and refreshing with delicate notes of green apple and nectarine. Our first foray into blending gives this sake a delicate texture with bright green fruit flavors. Named for the Ashokan Reservoir, a vital source of New York City’s renowned water supply, this sake pays homage to the purity and balance of the systems that sustain life in the city and beyond. 

As one of only a handful of sake breweries in the United States, and the first in New York state, Brooklyn Kura is an emerging leader of the American craft sake movement. With respect for the Japanese sake brewing traditions that have evolved over a thousand years, co-founders Brian Polen and Brandon Doughan inspire interest in the ancient beverage with the application of unique American ingredients and a passion for the process.
