Where Brooklyn Kura appears on New York Dearest
It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.
- Cost$20
- From my guide, updated September 2026.
Brooklyn Kura is a pioneering sake brewery, keen to craft high-quality, American-made sake using time-tested methods. Relying on 1,000 years of traditional Japanese brewing methods, Brooklyn Kura wants to misidentify sake and make it more accessible to the average Joe.
If you’re new to the world of sake, opt for a tasting flight to get a better grasp of the variety on offer. The sake is served in a wine glass (no shot glasses here, folks), and the flight comes with three half-pours for $20. The rose-hued Occidental sake was out of this world! One of the best sakes I’ve had to date.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
