Brooklyn Kura | American Craft Sake

As the first sake brewery in NYC, Brooklyn Kura is dedicated to creating and serving high-quality sake and building a new community of sake lovers. With around only 15 other sake breweries across the country, Brooklyn Kura is at the forefront of a new category: American Craft Sake. Respecting the 1,000-year-old brewing tradition of Japanese sake, founders Brian Polen and Brandon Doughan are invigorating this ancient beverage with unique American ingredients and a passion for the process.Brooklyn Kura is brewed in a 2,500 square foot space in the heart of Industry City, a rich community of makers and retailers in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The space, designed by Carpenter + Mason and Biz Designs, was modeled after the functionality of Japanese breweries, and provides a clean design and accessible space. The tap room offers a one-of-a-kind experience, as guests can taste select sakes only available on-site. Peek behind the bar to see the tanks where the moromi (sake mash) is being made as you sip the latest batch in front of you.
