Brooklyn Kura Lake Effect Junmai Nigori Sake 750ml

Brooklyn Kura Lake Effect Junmai Nigori Sake is a cloudy, unfiltered-style sake brewed in Brooklyn, New York, at 14% alcohol. Brooklyn Kura was founded by Brian Polen and brewmaster Brandon Doughan, who went into full-time production in 2018 at their brewery and tap room in Industry City.

Lake Effect is a junmai, made only from rice, water, koji and yeast, using Calrose rice polished to 60%. It is blended with amazake, a sweet mixture of rice, koji and water, and named after lake-effect snow, where cold air meets warm water.

Expect a silky texture, a light body and gentle sweetness, with soft rice and cream notes.

If you usually drink clear sake, nigori is the richer, creamier style: shake the bottle gently so the rice sediment mixes in. Serve it well chilled with spicy food, fried chicken or fruit desserts.
