Direct from Japan

Japanese sake in Singapore, sourced direct from five small breweries

COCON works with family-run brewers in Fukushima, Nagano, Niigata and Shiga, bringing bottles to Singapore that rarely leave Japan.

Direct import

Most sake reaching Singapore passes through several hands before it lands on a shelf. A shorter chain means fresher bottles, honest pricing, and access to seasonal releases that never reach the wider market. Fifteen labels are stocked at any time.

Kept cold

Singapore's climate is unforgiving to sake, and namazake, the unpasteurized style, is especially fragile. Stock is held chilled from arrival through to delivery, so bottles arrive as the brewer intended. Free delivery on orders over $120.

Five breweries

Naminooto in Shiga, Ono Brewing and Takeshige Honke in Nagano, Tsunan in Niigata, Nekka in Fukushima. Each is small, independent, and chosen for character rather than reputation. Every bottle carries the story of the people who made it.

Where to start

Choosing a first bottle is easier with a little context. The Sake 101 guide covers junmai, ginjo and daiginjo, which serving temperature suits each style, and how long an opened bottle keeps in a Singapore fridge.
