About Kato Sake Works
Kato Sake Works is a sake brewery and taproom on Troutman Street in Brooklyn. Its website says the sake is born in Tokyo and made in Brooklyn. The brewing water comes from the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York.
The website describes its sake as running from traditional to playful. Its School of Sake page walks through the rice, water, koji and yeast behind each bottle. The site also mentions sipping fresh sake while smelling fermenting moromi at the taproom.
Music and food are part of the room. The website lists live music, food pop-ups and vinyl nights. The idea is that you can eat good food and listen to good music while you drink sake.
You can also go behind the scenes. Kato offers a guided tasting and tour of the brewery, and you can buy bottles to take home. Walk-in bottle purchase is available at the brewery, and online orders ship within New York State.
