This year, the Sake Festival has moved to a larger air-conditioned space at Suntec City, doubling its previous event area. Established in 2013, the festival is Singapore's oldest and largest gathering celebrating Nihonshu, aiming to educate and promote Sake within the community. Nihonshu, with “Nihon” meaning Japan and “shu” being the suffix for alcohol, is Japan's national beverage with thousands of years of history. Nihonshu can only be made in Japan with ingredients grown and harvested there.
In its 9th edition, the Sake Festival will showcase over 300 labels from 30 sake breweries in Japan. What sets the Sake Festival Singapore apart is that each brewery booth will be led by a toji (brewer) or kurabito (brewery representative), offering attendees an authentic insight into their sakes.
