SakeYō helps you choose with confidence, whether it's a bottle to try tonight, a restaurant down the road, or a shop in Kyoto worth the trip. Follow local sommeliers to see what they're drinking, find tastings and events near you, and keep track of every sake you drink. The more you rate, the better your recommendations get.
Available in Singapore.
Most sake apps assume you already know what you want. We do it the other way around, which is how people actually eat. Tell SakeYō you're having oysters — or yakitori, or a bowl of curry — and it tells you which kind of sake goes with it, why it works, and what to say so the person behind the counter knows you mean it. This is the part people keep telling us they can't get anywhere else.
Every good bottle comes with a story — the brewery, the family, the town it's from. We go find them, and write them down.
Real recommendations for sake and the food that goes with it — the bars, breweries, restaurants and shops worth a detour — across Japan and Singapore. Sorted by prefecture when you're traveling and by neighborhood when you're home, with a Passport that keeps track of everywhere you've been.
Follow local sommeliers and sake people and see what they're into right now — the bottles they reach for, not the ones they're paid to talk about. It's the inside track, without the part where you have to corner an expert at a party.

Point your camera at a label, including one written entirely in Japanese, and SakeYō tells you what the bottle is and gives it a score for how well it matches your taste.
SakeYō works out which styles you lean towards, such as rich, aged, dry or light, from a short quiz and the bottles you rate. You can adjust the scores yourself, and tap any style to see tasting notes and how to order it.
The diary keeps a record of every sake you drink, with your rating and notes, the temperature, the cup, and who you were with. It also counts how many sake and breweries you’ve tried.
The Local section lists the bars, restaurants and shops in Singapore that we go back to for good sake.
The Japan section covers the sake bars, breweries, shops and restaurants we recommend across the country, with articles on places such as Sake Bar Otonari in Tokyo.
The events calendar lists sake tastings, dinners, workshops and festivals in Singapore. You can filter by type and save the ones you want to go to.
Each event page shows the date, venue, price and who else is going. You can tap Going to let people know, or Reserve to book through the organiser.
