BROOKLYN KURA OCCIDENTAL DRY

This sake pours like a rose with the nose of an IPA. To attract fine wine and craft beer drinkers to sake, Occidental is an interesting batch to pour. Occidental is a single yeast junmai. At the end of the fermentation process (post pressing) we gently dry-hopped the sake to extract the aroma and character you would expect from hops. The result is a bright, aromatic (lots of tropical fruit), and dry sake that is light bodied and infinitely drinkable.

Named Occidental, meaning ‘of the West,’ it embodies a uniquely American approach to the art of craft sake.

 

TASTING NOTES:

Gorgeous nose of grapefruit zest, sake pours with a beautiful rosé hue, velvet smooth, lightly honeyed character with a finish of citrus rind.

SUGGESTED PAIRINGS:

Delicious on its own or a beautiful pairing for rich summer treats like lamb burgers, grilled tuna steaks or roast pork loin.
