Last Saturday, Japanese craftsmanship took centre stage!

Known for elevating Japan's indigenous Koshu grape onto the world stage, Grace Wine showcased a range of elegant expressions, each paired with a thoughtfully curated five-course menu by WAKUDA Singapore.

From delicate flavors to insightful conversations, the evening was a celebration of Japanese craftsmanship, terroir, and the people behind every bottle.

[BREWERY OF THE MONTH] Yamamoto's brewing philosophy sounds almost understated: light aroma, gentle acidity & a crisp, food-friendly finish that complements a meal rather than competing with it.

The surprising part is how much experimentation goes into achieving that balance!

Known for challenging convention, the brewery explores unusual yeast combinations, multi-rice fermentations, and techniques rarely seen in traditional sake production. Yamamoto Wain pairs Chardonnay wine yeast with Akita's UT-2 sake yeast in a fermentation that inspired its name, "Wain" (和韻), meaning harmony. Royal Flush pushes even further, combining five Akita rice varieties and five yeast strains in a single tank.

Behind the creativity is a modern brewing philosophy: no traditional Toji hierarchy, an owner-led team, and meticulous quality control throughout the brewing process.

Innovative by design. Precise by necessity. Unmistakably Yamamoto!

[BREWERY OF THE MONTH] "𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝. 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭!"

That is Yamamoto's brewery motto & once you know it, it explains everything else about the place. When Yamamoto-san took over in 2007, he made a move that's still rare in the Akita sake world: he abolished the traditional Toji system and took on the role of master brewer himself, bringing every decision — milling, fermentation, pressing — back into the brewery's own hands.

Brewing with the heart meant letting go of the rulebook: smaller batches and room to fail before getting it right. It's why brewers work in Yamamoto caps and jerseys instead of the usual whites, with music playing on the job. It's why the boldest bottles in the range exist at all — pairings and blends a more conservative kura might never greenlight. And it's why the brewery built Labo & Café Yamamoto, a dedicated space where new ideas get tested small before they ever reach a bottle!

[BREWERY OF THE MONTH] You can taste a place in a well-made sake, and Yamamoto is Akita in a bottle!

The brewery sits between a rugged coastline and the Shirakami Sanchi, a UNESCO World Heritage mountain range whose ancient beech forests filter the spring water used in every brew. The rice comes from the terraces just below it. And the region's punishing winter cold does what no machine can — a long, slow ferment that gives Yamamoto sake its light aromatics and clean cut finish!

[BREWERY OF THE MONTH] 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆, 𝗬𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗼'𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻!

Founded in 1901 in the quiet coastal town of Happo-Cho, Akita, the brewery spent over a century producing under a different name: Shirataki. It took a new generation, and a leap of faith, to become the Yamamoto we know today.

In 2007, Tomofumi Yamamoto didn't just inherit the family business — he became its Toji, retraining to brew the sake himself and steering a struggling kura toward something entirely new: fewer bottles, far higher craft.

Find out how Yamamoto managed to revive the century old brewery by introducing a new philosophy, brewer hierarchy & flavor profiles to the sake world. Stay tuned!
