Occidental - A Nod to the West: Named "Occidental," meaning "of the West," Brooklyn Kura has crafted a truly American sake by steeping Citra Hops, which oxidize and lend the drink its distinct pink hue. The dry-hopping process extracts the aroma and character typical of hops, creating a light-bodied and refreshing sake that is sure to attract both fine wine and craft beer enthusiasts.

This sake pours like a rose with the nose of an IPA. It was brewed 1) because we love it and 2) we want to continually attract fine wine and craft beer drinkers to sake and Occidental is a fun way to do just that. Occidental is a single yeast junmai. At the end of the fermentation process (post pressing) we gently dry-hop the sake to extract the aroma and character you would expect from hops. The result is a bright, aromatic (lots of tropical fruit), and dry sake that is light bodied and infinitely drinkable.
