Brooklyn Kura “Catskills” 純米大吟釀 【低溫11°C慢釀・美國山田錦高精米】

【Brooklyn Kura “Catskills” 純米大吟釀】

以 100% 山田錦（美國阿肯色州種植）精米至 50%，Catskills 是 Brooklyn Kura 向清酒頂級級別「純米大吟釀」的致敬之作。 釀造過程中嚴格把發酵溫度控制在 11°C 以下，配合單一現代酵母，令香氣與質感走向細膩、輕盈而帶有奢華感的風格。 酒名取自紐約 Catskill 山脈—布魯克林釀酒用水的源頭，把水源、產地與美國清酒新世代緊密連結在一起

香氣以清爽果香為主 白花、青蘋果、青梨與淡淡熱帶水果調，再加上一絲香草與乳香般的奶油感，聞起來乾淨卻不單薄。 入口輕身順滑，帶綠色水果與細緻柑橘酸度，尾段在平衡的微甜與細膩酸度支撐下，留下柔滑並帶少許香草調的餘韻。 風格雖被歸類為「Light & Dry」，實際上日本酒度約 -2、酸度約 1.6，整體偏柔和易飲而不甜膩，適合長時間細嚐

非常適合作為「精緻料理桌上的白酒替代品」的清酒，冷藏至白酒溫度（約 8–12°C）飲用，可配搭生蠔、白身魚刺身、清爽沙律，或是蜜瓜、草莓等新鮮水果，能漂亮地帶出其優雅酸度與果香層次。

【Brooklyn Kura “Catskills” Junmai Daiginjo】
11°C Fermentation, American Junmai Daiginjo Elegance

Catskills is Brooklyn Kura’s Junmai Daiginjo, brewed from 100% Yamada Nishiki grown in Arkansas and polished down to 50% for a super-premium, highly refined expression. Fermented with a single modern yeast and kept below 11°C throughout, it is designed to be delicate and luxurious while maintaining clarity and freshness. Named after the Catskill Mountains, the brewery’s water source, it grounds this sake in New York terroir while paying homage to classic Japanese daiginjo craft.

The nose shows fresh citrus, green apple and pear, layered with white flowers, tropical fruit tones and a subtle hint of vanilla. On the palate it is light-bodied and smooth, with fine, well-balanced acidity that carries gentle fruit sweetness into a creamy, polished finish. With an SMV around -2 and acidity about 1.6, it drinks soft and approachable—officially “Light & Dry,” yet quietly plush and inviting.

Serve chilled at white-wine temperatures (around 8–12°C) and pair with delicate dishes such as raw oysters, white fish crudo, or fresh cantaloupe and strawberries to highlight its clean fruit and texture. Catskills will appeal to drinkers who appreciate nuance, place and craftsmanship—ideal as a refined alternative to white wine, or as a statement bottle for those exploring American-made Junmai Daiginjo.
