Mutsu Hassen Black Label
Junmai Ginjyo. Aomori, Japan.
$25
Staff Favorite
Hachinohe Brewery is one of few who practices sustainability and only utilizes local ingredients. The result is bursting with the apple-infused terroir of Aomori. A refreshing acidity melts gently into a sea of umami, allowing it to adapt easily in many different pairings. Its sheen matches the quality: Golden.
Drink chilled.
Balanced
$16
Kurosawa “Draft” Sake
Kimoto Junmai. Nagano, Japan.
$16
A “draft” version of the classic Kurosawa Junmai Kimoto. Produced once a year for the summer season, this sake is left unpasteurized to retain acidity, providing a vibrant and refreshing sweetness. Round, soft, and silky, look for hints of Asian pear, apple, kiwi, steamed rice, and plum flavors.
Semi-Sweet/Sweet
$23
Oze x Rosé
Junmai Dai-ginjyo. Gunma, Japan
$23
Owner's Pick
A lovely rose-colored sake that displays a harmonious symphony of sweet and tart. Brewed with the exceedingly difficult-to-use red yeast, this Rose sake will envelop the palate with notes of lush wild strawberries.
Sparkling
$22
MIO Sparkling Sake (10oz)
Sparkling Sake. Nada, Japan.
$22
Delicate & refreshingly sweet with flavors of honeydew, lemongrass & peaches. Refreshing - not too sweet! Think of it as - a Japanese Prosecco for 2!
Umeshu
$19
Nanbu Bijin Umeshu No Sugar
Umeshu. Iwate, Japan.
$19
This particular plum brew infuses only the plums into their one-of-a-kind no sugar-added Umeshu. The natural sugars of the plums are extracted by the sake over time. This longer process unveils a refreshingly tart, bright, rose-colored delight.
Recommended on the rocks.
Red
$19
Swick Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon. Columbia Valley, WA. 2022.
$19
Organic
An intriguing mix of Old World and New World with a commanding presence in the glass. Macerated whole cluster for two months before aging in neutral French oaks for 14 months. Tobacco, dark cherry, and mint aromatics lead to a fruit-forward finish with fresh acidity. The longer skin maceration makes for a cabernet that is lighter in color with a more elegant expression.
White
$19
Domaine Bersan “Saint-Bris”
Sauvignon Blanc. Burgundy, France. 2023.
$19
Organic
An aromatic Sauvignon Blanc with a medium body; refreshing grapefruit and florals on the nose with more citrus and mineral notes on the palate, all ending in a crisp, mouthwatering finish. Fresh, bright, and very balanced.
Orange/Skin-Contact
$17
Bojo Do Luar “Doralice”
Loureiro Vinho Verde, Portgual, 2020.
$17
Organic
Structured, aromatic, herbaceous with soft tannins. What we like to call a more gentle type of orange wine meaning that the tannins are subtle, the color less in the amber direction and the palate is fresh. You'll find a touch of nuttiness in the predominantly tropical fruit flavors of this wine.
PetNat/Rosé
$18
Yves Duport “L’intact”
Gamay. 2023. Bugey, France.
$18
Unfiltered & Unfined
Certified Organic & Biodynamic
Bright red rhubarb fruit and zesty red berry flavors with a bit of fizz. Perfect for warm days — dry, expressive, and tremendously fresh. This naturally sparkling rosé captures the wine's effervescence through natural fermentation in the bottle. The grapes are lightly pressed to extract delicate color and flavor without tannins.
Japanese Lager/Pilsner/Saison
$11
Echigo Weizen for a Relaxing Time
Hefeweizen. 5.5%. Niigata, Japan.

Japanese Ale/Specialty Ale
$11
Kizakura Lucky Cat (10oz)
White Ale, Kyoto, Japan
$11

The addition of high-quality Japanese rice lends a lightness to the body of this brew, counterbalancing Saaz hops bitterness elegantly.
Japanese IPA
$11
Kizakura Lucky Dog (10oz)
Japanese Session Ipa
$11
Brilliant citrus aroma. Modest hoppiness with light & smooth aftertaste. Well balanced with a lighter body than usual IPA.
Low ABV/Lager/Pilsner
$12
Grimm Utopos
Pilsner. 5.3%. Brooklyn, NYC.
$12
A crisp and delightfully bitter pilsner with a crackery maltiness and subtle notes of fresh lime zest. Utopos is a step-mashed brew that was fermented under pressure and then spunded in order to naturally capture the carbonation.
Ale/IPA
$12
Other Half “Forever Ever”
DDH IPA, 4.7%, Brooklyn, NY.
$12
Double Dry Hopped IPA with Cashmere, Citra, and Mosaic. Light but crisp with touches of juicy tropical notes like peach tea, citrus, passion fruit, and mango, and an excellent hop-forward nose. A favorite around here!
Sour/Session
$12
KCBC Beach Zombie
Fruited Sour. 4.5%. Brooklyn, NY.
$12
KCBC’s OG smash-hit summer sour, brewed with with pilsner malt, flaked wheat, and a massive dose of ripe guava & juicy strawberry. Notes of tropical piragua and Starburst candy. Pours a hazy pink in the glass. Fruit-forward and refreshing!

Zero-ABV IPA. New York.
$11
Good Time Brewing’s signature non-alcoholic IPA is dry-hopped for an authentic finish and taste. A variety of barley, wheat, and oat malts provide a well-rounded backbone upon which the hops can shine. A convergence of East Coast and West Coast styles — mellow and slightly hazy.
