Amazing Experience at Sake Matsuri! We had such a fun and unique time at Sake Matsuri! The wide variety of drinks to sample was truly overwhelming-in the best way possible. It’s definitely worth a visit. We’re thrilled this event is available on Pelago, making the booking and check-in process super easy and hassle-free. Highly recommend!
Sake Matsuri was awesome. So much sake, Sochu and spirits to taste! Really enjoyed chatting with the sommeliers, importers and sake geeks. You even get to buy these beverages at a discount! Loved the food selection as well. Great vibes! Will come every year if my liver allows.
Superb! Amazing selection of sakes, some of which are not even available in Singapore yet! Great service, great experience. Love it love it love it.
great varieties of sake and even including spirits and liqours for tasting. great prices compared to other times
Best edition yet! Went for a sold out slot and the crowd situation was good, so many sake to taste, staff were super friendly. Loved the option for upgrading from wine glasses to sake cups, and the huge sitting area was awesome too compared to previous editions! Looking forward to the next one!
