Sake Storage & Care

Can I store my Sake in room temperature?
We recommend all sake to be kept refrigerated 5℃ to 15℃.
Does sunlight affect my Sake?
Do not store sake in direct sunlight. It is better to keep sake in a dark place. Ideally in a refrigerator.
What are the delicate Sake I should be aware of?
Namazake, Namazume, Namachozoshu and Ginjo type Sakes are recommended to be kept under 5℃. These sakes are more delicate than most pasteurized sake.
How should I store my Sake?
Nama and Awa-sake (Sparkling sake) should be stored upright because a screw cap might leak and pressure is likely to mount.

Can I purchase the Sake in the subscription plans from the SakeMama online store?

Otherwise, the other drinks in the subscription plans will eventually be available to non-subscription members.

Unfortunately, our Subscription Plans are not eligible for returns.

Please email your requests to: concierge@sakemama.com.sg
If I cancel my subscription, will I still be charged for the subscription for that month?
We count according to a monthly cycle, starting on the 1st of each month. When you cancel your subscription, we will still deliver your subscription box for the month.

For Monthly Subscribers: You will not be charged for the subsequent months, and no other deliveries will be made.

For 6 & 12 Month Subscribers: You will be refunded for the remaining months on your subscription, and no other deliveries will be made.
What happens once my plan expires?
The 6 & 12 months subscription plans will not be automatically renewed! Don't worry, we will send you a reminder email before the last subscription box is delivered (1 month before the plan runs out).

However, the monthly subscription will be renewed at the first of each month. But, don't worry - we will be sure to send you a reminder email to notify you of the upcoming charge 3 days before the end of the month.

Please select “Gift Wrap” when you add your item to cart. The gift-wrapping charge will be added to your cart once you have selected the gift-wrapping option.
Will selecting Gift Wrapping delay my order?
We do ask that you allow an extra day for gift wrapped orders to be processed. But, as with all of our orders, we try to ship as soon as possible.
