Sake Festival Singapore 2024 returns for 9th run with over 300 sakes
Sake-lovers, rejoice! Immerse yourself in the fragrant aroma of sake at the Sake Festival Singapore 2024 (15 Jun, Sat, 2pm-7pm). It will be held at the Suntec Convention Hall.
Not to be confused with the independent trade show Sake Matsuri, this festival is organised by the liquor boutique Orihara Shoten, one of Asia’s oldest and largest sake exhibitions.
A standard ticket will set you back by S$60. For every 5 tickets bought, you will get 1 free ticket. Only those above 18 years old (i.e. legal drinking age) can be admitted.
Check out these highlights.
Free tasting of over 300 Japanese sakes
This year’s festival carries more than 300 labels from 30 sake breweries in Japan. These are available for tasting and purchase.
Some of the breweries and sakes to look out for include Minenohakubai Brewery, maker of Ryouko Junmai Ginjo with a focus on mellow, tantalising sake, and Makino Brewery, creator of the Macho Omachi. The beverage has a refreshingly dry yet delicious flavour.
Another highlight is the Nabedana Brewery. It offers the Fudoh Junmai Daiginjou, made from 50% polished sake-komachi rice for a refreshing and aromatic taste.
Pair sake with Japanese snacks
This year sees the debut of the event’s inaugural food section. Elevate your tasting experience by pairing your favourite sake with delectable treats, such as Deep-Fried Dumplings and Steamed Oysters from 7 of the country’s finest Japanese restaurants. Featured restaurants include Pulsii Wood Fire Restaurant & Bar and Torasho Ramen & Charcoal Bar.
Indulge in uniquely curated sauces from breweries at the Sake Festival Singapore 2024.
Meet the artisans behind the brews
Meet the kurabito (brewery worker) and toji (who oversees the workers) at the booths. They will share their tales and insights, adding a personal touch to your tasting experience.
Overwhelmed by all the sake options? Fret not. For the first time this year, certified sake sommeliers will be on the ground to recommend the best food and sake pairings.
