updated the 1 December 2016 à 23:02
There’s no better way to enjoy sake than at an atmospheric bar.
Much like sushi, sake (pronounced ‘sah-keh’) is an integral aspect to Japanese cuisine and culture. This much-loved Japanese alcoholic beverage is made of fermented rice and ‘koji’ (also known as rice malt), although the Japanese also refer to other alcoholic drinks as sake as well. Whether consumed hot or cold, this drink boasts of complex flavors incomparable to other spirits.
Singapore is definitely not short of sake bars that will give you a great alternative to your usual tapas or wine bars. If you’re seeking an authentic sake bar experience that will have you feeling like you’re in an actual izakaya along a back alley in Shinjuku, give Shukuu Izakaya a go. Otherwise, head down to the urban-chic BAM! Tapas and Sake Bar for a taste and experience of the ‘Shu-do’ sake trend (a contemporary way of appreciating sake with a fusion menu), which offers patrons delicious Spanish tapas to accompany their sakes.
