The title of Sake Samurai is one of the highest honours in the world of Japanese sake. It is awarded by the Japan Sake Brewers Association Junior Council, representing more than 1,400 sake breweries across Japan.

Each year, only a select few outside Japan receive this distinction, recognising their exceptional contribution to preserving and promoting sake culture globally. Sake Samurais serve as official ambassadors of Japanese sake, dedicated to sharing its heritage, craftsmanship, and the stories of those who brew it.

For the first time in Singapore, join Singapore's first Sake Samurai, Adrian Goh, and Australia's Sake Samurai, Simone Maynard, as they come together to share their journeys of passion, perseverance, and purpose, and to celebrate sake as a bridge between craft, culture, and connection. ​Each session promises heartfelt stories, meaningful encounters, and the convivial spirit of sake.

Because this isn’t just another dining event; it’s a rare chance to experience sake through the eyes of those who live and breathe it. At TANOKE, every session is designed to go beyond the glass, to connect guests with the heart of Japanese craftsmanship, the stories behind each brew, and the joy that brings people together.

Whether you’re a sake lover, a food enthusiast, or simply curious to discover something new, this event promises to inspire, educate, and delight. You’ll walk away with more than just good food and sake, you’ll carry a deeper appreciation for Japan’s most soulful drink, shared by two of its global ambassadors.
