Brooklyn Kura

"A sake brewery located in Industry City, offering locally brewed sake and a unique tasting experience." - Emma Orlow

"Also in Industry City, a sake brewery is expanding. Brooklyn Kura will trade in its tasting room for a 20,000-square-foot production facility and a taproom this fall. The two-story space will serve sake, small plates, and shochu cocktails. The expansion comes as Asahi Shuzo, a major Japanese sake producer, opens a 55,000-square-foot brewery in Hyde Park, New York." - Luke Fortney

"One of New York’s only sake brewery’s is hosting a tasting this Friday, October 1st at their taproom in Industry City. Each $25 ticket gets you a tasting flight, snacks, and sake tasting games." - hannah albertine

"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

"Oishii Berry will be hosting a sake and strawberry tasting this Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The new menu item, which includes one strawberry and a glass of sake, costs $20." - Luke Fortney
