Brooklyn Kura Junmai Namachozo "Occidental Dry Hopped"

From the importer Skurnik:

• Tasting Notes: Gorgeous nose of grapefruit zest, sake pours with a beautiful rose hue, lightly honeyed character with a citrussy finish.
• Pairs well with richer foods like burgers and onion rings, or roast pork loin.
• Serving Temperature: Chilled
• Named Occidental which means ‘of the West’. Brooklyn Kura has created a true American sake by steeping Citra Hops which oxidizes and gives the sake a pink hue. Aromatic with IPA-hint and a grapefruit rind and velvet smooth citrus finish.

“Occidental” is a single yeast junmai. At the end of the fermentation process (post pressing), the sake is gently dry-hopped to extract the hop aroma and character. The result is a bright, aromatic (lots of tropical fruit), and dry sake that is light bodied and refreshing.
