A good sake bar guides you through a drink that is often misunderstood. Sake ranges from dry and crisp to soft, fruity and rich, and styles such as junmai, ginjo and daiginjo reflect how much the rice is polished, with more polished rice generally giving a lighter, more delicate drink. If you are new to sake, tell the staff what you usually enjoy and ask for a small tasting set, which lets you compare styles, and ask whether a bottle is best served cold, at room temperature or warm. Sake pairs well with Japanese small plates, and a bar that serves food gives you something to eat alongside. Cecil Street is in the Tanjong Pagar and financial district, so the bar is busiest after work, from Thursday to Saturday, and booking ahead helps for groups. Regulars pace themselves with water, ask about the origin of each bottle and plan how they will get home late.
For anyone around Cecil Street, Tommy's Sake Bar is a well-reviewed place to explore sake.
