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.

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. 😋.

At Young Dawn 2023 AUTUMN. This tasting event brought together young brewers from 46 breweries in 28 prefectures who will lead the sake industry in the future! 13/28 Brooklyn Kura Grand Prairie. Brooklyn Kura brews authentic sake in New York City, and although the brewers were unable to come to Japan, they offered tastings at the booth of Hakkai Shuzo, with whom they have a technical partnership starting this fall! This sake is made with Yamadanishiki grown in Arkansas. It has a slightly complex flavor with a clean mouthfeel.

At Young Dawn 2023 AUTUMN. This tasting event brought together young brewers from 46 breweries in 28 prefectures who will lead the sake industry in the future! Dec. 28 Brooklyn Kura Number Fourteen. Brooklyn Kura brews authentic sake in New York City, and although the brewers were unable to come to Japan, they offered tastings at the booth of Hakkai Shuzo, with whom they have a technical partnership starting this fall! 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.

Occidental 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. #Young Dawn 2023

Chilled 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.
