Brooklyn Kura has entered the Thai market with three expressions — the same SKUs chosen for its landmark debut in Japan. This marks Thailand as the second Asian market, after Japan to carry the brand.
The rights to market Brooklyn Kura have been secured by Curious Kanpai, a premium sake curation company founded by Mr Sakol Suriyachoti together with co‑founder Ms Kulsiri Chainanapakul.
The introduction of Brooklyn Kura in Thailand reflects an ambition to cultivate a new drinking culture that pairs craft sake with a diverse range of cuisines — from traditional Thai dishes such as som tam and pad thai to fine dining. This strategic initiative is designed to appeal to a new generation of consumers who value craftsmanship, distinctive experiences, and expertise in food pairing.
GRAND PRAIRIE – JUNMAI GINJO
Crafted with 100% Arkansas-grown Yamada Nishiki sake rice and fermented with a single modern yeast at carefully controlled low temperatures, this Junmai Ginjo presents a dry, light, and elegantly restrained profile.
Named for Arkansas’s Grand Prairie, home to Isbell Farms, the first U.S. farm to cultivate Yamada Nishiki, the region’s exceptional growing conditions yield rice of remarkable quality
CATSKILLS – JUNMAI DAI GINJO
Dai Ginjo is considered a super premium style of sake due to the effort, time, and cost that goes into its production. Using 100% sake brewers rice (Yamada Nishiki) from Arkansas, a single modern yeast, and fermenting the brew below 11 degrees celsius results in a delicate and luxurious sake.
Named for the Catskills Mountains as this is the source of Brooklyn Kura’s excellent water
used in all their sake.
OCCIDENTAL – DRY HOPPED JUNMAI SAKE
This unique sake starts with a traditionally made single yeast tokubetsu 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 hops also gives this sake its characteristic pale pink hue.
Named “Occidental”, it means “of the West”, and speaks to a unique American perspective on craft sake.
