Pale yellow, like a Chardonnay.
Rich fruitiness reminiscent of apricot and yellow peach, yeasty.
Bitter and delicious on the palate with a short finish, yeasty on the nose.

Little aroma, slight solvent aroma. Slightly piquant. Dry in the mouth. Overall, it is clean and refreshing. It could use a little more flavor, but that's okay.
Obtained through crowdfunding.
This is an American SAKE that came to Japan through a partnership with Hakkaisan. It does not taste strange at all, and is as good as Japanese Sake. If this is the case, is there any reason other than the rarity of choosing an American SAKE to drink in Japan? Price-wise.

Strong banana flavors on the nose and initial taste. Creamy texture that feels like an unfiltered gives way to roughness on the tongue. Nice acidity.
Not my favorite sake, a weird mix of crisp flavors and strange mouthfeel, but not terrible either.
70/100

Sadly I don’t think the sake is under best condition when I drink - as it has lost the fruity and elegant part of it. Instead it comes with roasted nuts and slight umami feel - also a bit of bamboo and minty feel. Signs of oxidization.

Sake not easy to be found in Japan or Hong Kong. Thanks for a friend bringing it all the way back from New York. To my surprise it is quite a nicely done Junmai Ginjo which gives you the fruity sweetness on palate & smell. Perhaps hard water from US gives you the cream and yogurt lactic acid feel. It is not an elegant type but it wont be too full body which can still be paired with food.

Dawn of the Young Series😃
Young Dawn of the Young 2023 AUTUMN is an event where young brewers and toji, the future leaders of the sake industry, gather to introduce their pride and joy in sake.
Here is the 7th cup!
USA 🇺🇸 is located in 🗽 Brooklyn, NY🗽.
"Brooklyn Kura" 😃.
It is a sake made by Americans using American Yamada Nishiki. 🧔🏼
This event was thankfully free tasting.
Actually, they have a partnership with Hakkaisan to give lectures on sake making, and the free tasting event is being held because of the complicated importation and sales process due to the liquor tax law.
There were three types of sake at this event, and I tried the most orthodox type.
My impression of the drink was
The color is clear, the aroma is subdued, and because it is made from Yamada-Nishiki, a full, fruity flavor spreads in the mouth.
I heard that it is popular locally, and I hope that sake will become more popular in the U.S. 😋.

A miracle bottle of freshly pressed bottled sake brewed in Brooklyn was brought in by manual transport, and the freshness of the sake was not compromised and tasted as fresh as the local tapping. It is a fresh and juicy sake!

This is already sake!
What is Yamahai?
I'm amazed!
The American Touji is a master!
The label says that the sake is made with a traditional Norwegian yeast called "Gjærkrans", which is a Norwegian traditional Rhys type yeast.
I hear that they are going to cooperate with Hakkai Sake Brewery and start brewing in earnest from now on.

Sake (and other brews) brewed in Brooklyn, New York with New York water and California rice
Hops, which are not allowed in Japan under the liquor tax law, are used.
The taste is similar to that of lychee, which is unique to hops.
Taste similar to Kido's Fusion Sake
Sake brewed with American rice
It's amazing that something of this quality is made in the U.S.

The sake itself is pink. I wonder if it is red rice?
It contains hops and the flavor is similar to that of gin.
Personally, I like it.

Dry with a little bit of bite on initial taste. Rough almost carbonated mouth feel and a bit of bracing bitterness on the relatively quick finish. Maybe a hint of grape (but not in a wine kind of way)
Overall good but seems to lack a strong distinguishing character.
