Never Ending Summer, Sake Discovery Series
In Japan, natsuzake (夏酒), or summer sake, comes out each year for the hot months. Breweries make it lighter, crisper and more refreshing than usual, and it's best served well chilled. but while Japan's summer is short, in Singapore, summer never ends.
 
Our Sake Discovery Series brings together 3 sakes, each with its own rice, brewery and story. This is available till sold out.
