"American sake is still relatively underrepresented on the sake scene. So you’ll rarely find menus with sake made anywhere close to the place you’re drinking. That is, unless you go to Brooklyn Kura in Industry City - one of only two sake breweries in all five boroughs. Brooklyn Kura is a great place to bring a group on a weekend and try a glass of sake called “Occidental” that tastes a little like hoppy beer and bananas. (It’s delicious, even to those who live in fear of bananas.) We’d also recommend a bottle named after nearby Greenwood Cemetery that’s made in the Kimoto brewing style, which takes way longer than typical methods, and produces funky, acidic sake. Ask questions when you go, and you’ll have an even better time. (If you’re interested in trying Brooklyn Kura outside of Industry City, Decibel and Accidental Bar both carry some of their sake)." - Hannah Albertine
