Review Body: Had an enjoyable sake tasting experience here. Even though there was another group of 4 during the session, the atmosphere still felt very welcoming and personal. The sommelier was knowledgeable and shared interesting information about the different types of sake. We got to try such a wide variety, from cloudy and craft styles to refined pours and even sake on tap, which was really unique. It never felt rushed, and you could tell a lot of thought went into curating the selection. Definitely a great experience for both beginners and people who already enjoy sake.

Review Body: I had a wonderful time at this sake tasting. The selection of sake was excellent, and the host shared wonderful stories about the brewing process and the history behind each bottle. It was both educational and delicious. I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone looking to learn more about sake and have a nice time.

Review Body: My friend and I both enjoyed the session! It was cosy and chill (more like being in someone’s dining room rather than commercial) and the session ended up stretching out longer, the host is knowledgeable and let us try an extra type of sake :) Also enjoyed trying the different sakes, and the snacks were good too!

Review Body: Compared to all the alcohol experience I’ve ever been to (and I've been to a lot!), this has been by far the most full experience I ever had!! I had a really good and fun lesson (esp for someone who only knows how to drink) and definitely take home some knowledge eg. How to buy a sake that i enjoy next time!

Through close relationships with small, family-run producers, you’ll be able to sip your way through 5 premium sakes from top Japanese breweries - including rare finds that are hard to come by in Singapore.Unlike big, formal tastings, this is intimate and fully customisable to your taste. Whether it’s your first time trying sake or you already have a few favourites, the hosts will tailor the session to match your experience level and flavour preferences. It’s also incredibly affordable for the quality of sakes offered - think well-loved names like Nabeshima and Noguchi Naohiko Sake Institute.If you're keen to explore Japanese culture without hopping on a flight, or just want to kick off dinner with a little extra flair, this one’s for you.What to ExpectGuided tasting session with 5 specially selected artisanal sakesIntroductions to rare sakes from top breweries like Nabeshima, Mizubasho, and moreLight, pre-dinner bites to accompany the tasting sessionCosy, small-group setting with hosts who make sake easy to enjoyCustomised to your experience level and flavour preferencesRelaxed pre-dinner timing to ease you into the eveningGood to KnowNo prior knowledge of sake is needed—it’s beginner-friendlyIdeal before dinner, as this is a pre-dinner experience and no meal is servedHosted in an intimate space with limited spots, so book early if you're in a group

Meet your host

Joan’s sake journey started in Japan with a bridal business, but it was the conversations she had in small towns — with brewers and locals — that sparked something more lasting. Together with Charles, she brought that spirit home, creating a place where sake isn’t just poured, but appreciated for its story and care. Since 2013, they’ve been working closely with small breweries, focusing on sustainability (including cold-chain deliveries and an electric truck), and running tastings that feel more like friendly gatherings than formal events. For them, it’s all about genuine connection — with the sake, the makers, and the people who drink it.
