{"title":"Brooklyn Kura","description":"Brooklyn Kura is committed to creating a new tradition of American craft sake. Owner Brian Polen and “toji” (brewmaster) Brandon Doughan met in Japan and found they both shared the goal of making a true craft American sake. After experimenting for a few years, they officially opened their taproom in Brooklyn, New York, in 2018. Since its opening, Brooklyn Kura has been very fortunate to get advice from some of Japan’s top breweries, such as Hakkaisan, Nanbu Bijin, Rihaku, and many others. It is with great honor and dedication that the folks at Brooklyn Kura bring their special brand of sake to the world.","products":[{"product_id":"brooklyn-kura-grand-prairie","title":"Brooklyn Kura - Grand Prairie","description":"\u003cp\u003eDry and light with a touch of honeysuckle, this junmai ginjo is named after the first place to grow Yamadanishiki sake rice in the U.S.: Arkansas. “Grand Prairie” is brewed with this top-quality American rice, and offers nuance, depth and character.
