Brooklyn Kura, Lake Effect Nigori 375ml

American-grown Yamada Nishiki rice milled to 60% 

Sake Meter Value: -8

ABV: 14%

Brooklyn, New York

This cloudy ‘nigori’ style sake is made from a careful blend of traditional Junmai sake with an amazake rice mixture giving it a distinct texture notes of coconut and pineapple and a subtle sweetness. Named for the ‘Lake Effect’ weather pattern where cold air over warmer lakes produces dense and heavy snow, evocative of this beautiful cloudy sake.

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.
