Here comes an American sake🍶 made with American Yamadanishiki🌾 🇺🇸
Its name is Brooklyn Kura: ❗️
Imported by Hakkaisan, so it seems to be related. They are indeed very generous👐.
There was a set of 3 different kinds of sake to compare, so that's what I would drink 😤.
🇺🇸 Brooklyn on the left
This is the only liqueur. Red grape juice 🍇 is added. It is red in color and is grape juice 🍇 It has a strong sweet but subdued flavor. This guy is a definite liqueur🍇.
🇺🇸 Brooklyn in the middle
Rice🌾 flavor and a bitter aftertaste. A dry type that makes you mmmmmm. This is a genuine unmixed sake dry 👍❗️ nice dry 👍
🇺🇸 right brooklyn
Sweet deliciousness and the sweet aroma of unrefined sake. Smooth sweetness with a hint of creaminess and a mellow throat. I wonder if it's close to Romain 🤔.
Japan is supposed to have soft water worldwide, but I can't say I'm surprised ⁉️ that they can make a soft water-like mouthfeel sake in the US 😳.
In terms of sake, it's right in the middle of modern 🎯.
Wow, even in America 🇺🇸 can make great sake!

Hi ma-ki-😃
Sake is also getting more and more foreign 🤔 I happened to come across it for the first time on a store menu. I hope it will be available in the Kansai area 🤗.
Hi Masaaki Sapporo 😃
On the endorsement, the importer is Hakkaisan. The clerk said it was an American company funded by Hakkaisan 🤩.
I don't know if it is Hakkaisan until the sale 🤔.
Hi Hiro, thanks for the help 😃
We, the rest of the world, didn't fill in the map 🤔.
Remember the "sayonara, sayonara, sayonara..." Sunday movie theater 😌 don't you know 😅
Makes me want to go to Yodogawa Brewery 😆.
One of the items we visited last month at Sakelabo Tokyo, but were prevented by the time limit 😂.
I didn't expect to see it in my hometown, so I was the first to order it 😁.
I was told that it was made in the US, so I guess it is suitable for the people over there.
It has the appearance of a sake without the so-called classicness, but is much milder.
It has a light mouthfeel with a thin spread of sweetness.
Overall, it is easy to drink, but it gives a vague impression.
I would drink it by itself with a lot of energy, or with something to accompany it.
I would prefer it to be more voluminous, but I would like to try the other two.
The taste is quite sweet and refreshing.
For better or worse, it is less sake-like.
Even those who do not usually drink sake will find it easy to drink.
Fine sake party at our usual bar!
We paired it with food and enjoyed it.
The second was with sake that is made in the U.S. by Americans.
They also make Yamada Nishiki on American soil and use that.
He said it is not pure sake, but a mixture of hops and other ingredients.
The dish was a terrine of summer vegetables.
The color was pink, and when I took a sip, it tasted a little hoppy, which was the first time I had tasted it. After a while, it tasted like wine and berries. It was an interesting taste.
Hakkaisan ✖️ Brooklyn, USA.
100% American Yamadanishiki, full-bodied, acidic, gentle ginjo aroma. Green apple-like. Slightly effervescent as well.
I felt a kind of oaky flavor that I had never felt before. When I asked the lecturer and seminar staff at Hakkaisan, they explained that American Yamadanishiki does not have much heart white, and that the technology for filtering is still developing.
I like the fact that they are focusing on community building as well as sake brewing. I look forward to the future of sake in America.
Grand Prairie
Melon-like aroma becomes plastic in the mouth. Tasteless like soda water, then slightly fizzy and slightly bitter. Delicious when drunk with junk snacks that feel American. I have a feeling!
An American SAKE that came to Japan through a partnership with Hakkaisan. This is the second bottle.
When I drank the first bottle in April, I thought that I wouldn't go out of my way to choose an expensive American SAKE, but as the price of rice has skyrocketed in recent years and the price of sake made from rice also shows signs of going up, I have reconsidered whether it might be an option if the imported product is this good and if the price range is on par with domestic products.
Well, the tariffs in the U.S. are likely to rise.
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.
Catskill
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.
Chilled
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.
