    A GROUP of 40 Business Times readers enjoyed an afternoon of sake and art at Gillman Barracks recently. The event was part of the Singapore Gallery Month and took place on Sep 28.

    It was also a follow-up to last October’s gallery hop which included wine tastings at various stops.

    Each gallery visit was complemented by tastings of diverse sake brands curated by Sakesho, a new app designed to simplify the sake experience for a wider audience.

    From the elegant Hakugakusen to the versatile Shinrai, each sake offered a distinct flavour profile, inviting participants to explore the nuances of this beloved Japanese spirit.

    Attendees left with enriched knowledge and a newfound appreciation for both the artistry of sake and the vibrant local art scene, making the event a true fusion of sensory experiences.
