Their innovative approach has garnered recognition in Japan, winning them accolades in international sake competitions. The brewery’s sake is now featured in prestigious Michelin-starred restaurants, demonstrating its quality and appeal. Oh and Yamamoto have also cultivated a dedicated local following. Their success highlights a growing appreciation for Japanese brewing traditions with a distinctly Singaporean twist.
