Time Out says

The oldest and largest gathering of Nihonshu (sake) in Singapore is back after a three-year hiatus. The eighth edition of Sake Festival Singapore is set to showcase over 300 types of sakes with a cameo of Japanese beers and regional snacks. There will be more than 35 sake breweries independently represented by their Toji (brewmaster) and brewers at this festival so you can get up close and personal with each and every one of them. And for the first time ever in the event’s history, some of this ultra-premium sake will be available by the glass from $10 to $15 a pour. 

This includes the highly-anticipated Tatenokawa Junmai that goes for $1790 a bottle – widely known as the world’s first sake that features a one percent rice polishing rate. Other crowd favourites available by the glass are the Ohmine Storm Cowboy x Human Made collaboration, Dassai Beyond, and the Sekiya Shuzo Houraisen Arcadia II 2019 Kimoto Junmai Daiginjo. While food isn’t available unlike previous years, the Yamagata Prefectural government will have a booth to promote snacks from the region.

Enthusiasts can also sign up for a sake and food pairing session led by Japanese sake maestro Chiba Marie (from $220). Hailing from Tokyo’s popular sake bar, Eureka, Marie is one of 84 Sake Samurais in the world. As a pre-event to the festival, she will host an eight-course sake parking dinner at Shirokane Tori-Tama on June 15, marrying the art of yakitori and highlights from Eureka.

Event Location: Suntec City Convention Hall, Level 3, Summit Hall 1; Festival Tickets: $60
