TL;DR
SAKERAMA runs on 25 and 26 July at Tanjong Pagar Distripark. A S$38 ticket includes entry and one 80ml pour, not free-flow tasting. Weekend and group passes reduce the entry cost, but the organiser’s live pages disagree on whether under-18s may enter, so families should confirm before buying.

Why this needs a ticket guide, not another festival preview

SAKERAMA arrives at 37 Tanjong Pagar Distripark from 12pm to 10pm on 25 and 26 July 2026, presenting more than 100 craft sakes alongside masterclasses, DJs and Yosakoi. The debut has a real audience signal: a Singapore creator’s exact-event Instagram reel showed 361 likes and 25 comments when checked on 24 July. Google’s public autocomplete also returned the exact phrase “craft sake Singapore” with relevant local bar and brand expansions. Neither observation is a forecast, but both are topic-level signals rather than a count of launch articles.

Most previews explain the line-up. The more urgent pre-visit question is what each pass actually buys. The answer starts with one easily missed point: this is a pay-by-the-pour festival, not a free-flow session.

A S$38 pass includes one 80ml pour

The organiser’s official ticket page lists the single-day pass at S$38. It includes entry for either Saturday or Sunday, one complimentary 80ml festival pour, access to more than 100 listed craft sakes, and the programme of masterclasses, DJs and Yosakoi.

Additional 80ml pours start from one token. Each token is listed at S$5 before GST, and the organiser says individual exhibitors set their own token price. In other words, S$38 is the admission floor, not the total cost of an unrestricted tasting session. Buy tokens gradually rather than treating a stack of them as a target; eat, hydrate, arrange a safe journey home and never drive after drinking.

The four passes, with the useful maths

  • Single Day Pass — S$38: the straightforward choice for one person attending on one day, with one complimentary 80ml pour.
  • Single Day + Yuzu Collab — S$65: the same one-day access and welcome pour, plus a 180ml SAKERAMA × Orchid Sake Brewery Yuzu Sake bottle. The listed premium over the standard pass is S$27; no value judgement is possible without a separate retail comparison.
  • Weekend Pass — S$68: entry on both days, re-entry and one complimentary 80ml pour per day. It is S$8 less than two S$38 single-day passes.
  • Bundle of Five — S$175: five single-day passes for one shared day, or S$35 per person. That saves S$15 against five separate S$38 passes, but the tickets cannot be split across Saturday and Sunday.

The weekend pass only saves money if you genuinely plan to attend twice. The group bundle is the lowest listed per-person entry price, but only for a party of five entering on the same day. These comparisons cover listed admission prices; checkout terms, token GST and personal spending can change the final total.

The official age rules contradict each other

There is one point the organiser should clarify. The ticket page says “Strictly 18+” and states that valid photo ID is required for entry because alcohol is served throughout. The separate official FAQ says SAKERAMA is family-friendly, children may attend under parent or guardian supervision, and drinking is restricted to guests aged 18 and above.

Those instructions cannot both govern entry as written. Anyone booking for a guest under 18 should contact SAKERAMA and obtain a clear answer before paying. Do not rely on a third-party preview at the door. Adults should also carry valid photo ID.

What independent coverage confirms

Spirited Asia, in a bylined report by Joel Lim published on 10 July, independently confirms the 25–26 July dates, Tanjong Pagar Distripark venue, more than 100 craft sakes, S$38 starting price, 80ml welcome pour and token model. Time Out Singapore, in a 20 July guide by Sofiana Ramli, also confirms the dates, 12pm–10pm hours, venue and S$38 starting price.

Those reports make the festival easy to discover. What they do not resolve is the contradiction between the organiser’s current age statements. That is why the safest recommendation is practical rather than promotional: choose a pass based on the number of days and people, budget separately for pours, and confirm the entry rule if your group includes anyone under 18.

The organiser’s live pages conflict. The ticket page says the event is strictly 18+ and requires photo ID for entry, while the FAQ says children may attend with a parent or guardian but only guests aged 18 and above may drink. Confirm directly with SAKERAMA before buying for anyone under 18.
