Product details
Brooklyn Kura, New York City's pioneering sake brewery, presents the Catskills Junmai Daiginjo—a testament to their dedication to traditional Japanese brewing techniques infused with American innovation. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this sake utilizes 100% Yamadanishiki rice, renowned for its superior quality in sake production. Employing a single modern yeast strain and maintaining fermentation temperatures below 11 degrees Celsius, the brewers achieve a delicate and luxurious profile that embodies the essence of a super-premium Daiginjo.
Bottled as a Nama Chozo, the Catskills Junmai Daiginjo offers a fresh and vibrant tasting experience. With an ABV of 16% and a slightly negative SMV of -1, it strikes a harmonious balance between subtle sweetness and refined acidity. The sake's delicate and luxurious nature suggests it would pair well with light and refined dishes such as sashimi, steamed white fish, or fresh oysters. For optimal enjoyment, it is recommended to store and serve this sake at white wine temperatures, allowing its nuanced flavors to shine.
