By the end of the experience, you'll walk away with the confidence and knowledge to continue exploring sake brewing on your own.What to ExpectMake your own sake mash (moromi) under expert guidance, producing about 1 litre of unpressed sake.A detailed lecture from the brewers, learning about sake brewing, techniques, and secrets.Use of professional-grade sake yeast and rice, otherwise not available for sale.Enjoy a sake tasting of 3 different varieties from the host's line-up along with light snacks.Receive expert advice on pressing, mixing with fruits or flavours, and equipment needed for further brewing at home.

Meet your host
Meet Reuben Luke and Yumika Yamamoto, the founders behind Singapore’s first and only sake brewery since 2024. They faced plenty of doubts—from water quality to climate, and the high costs of brewing in a wealthy country. But it was their meeting that sparked something special. Through honest conversations and shared vision, they realised sake could be made anywhere, even in Singapore. Their goal is to create a new kind of sake, one that challenges traditions and welcomes innovation. It’s clear these two are driven by genuine curiosity and a belief that great things can come from anywhere, no matter the obstacles. Their story is about turning challenges into fresh ideas and building something truly different.
