The Best Japanese Restaurants in Singapore

When it comes to sophisticated dining, it’s hard to top Japanese cuisine. As it just so happens, Japanese restaurants in Singapore are among some of the best in the world. You can’t help but love the elegance of the cuisine’s delicate and delicious flavours.

From succulent sushi and tempura to yakitori and ever-exciting teppanyaki, you can always find something on Japanese menus to satisfy your craving. And of course, there is also the omakase-style of dining, in which chefs select what guests eat based on seasonal ingredients.

But with so much to choose from, it can be hard to know where to go. So we’ve done a little research and found our top five Japanese restaurants in Singapore.

ShuKuu Japanese Izakaya & Sake Bar

Book Now!

How could we present a list about the best of Japanese cuisine without at least one izakaya? We can’t, we won’t, and thus we definitely saved the best for last. ShuKuu was created by four friends who love all things Japanese and want to share that love with everyone who walks through the door. Hoping to recreate the same “WOW” moment they experience in their first authentic izakaya, and boy have they done a good job.

You can find tasty dishes, epic drinks, a whole range of sake and of course that famous izakaya atmosphere which sets them apart from a usual tavern. If you’re looking to experience something very special, then do yourself a favour and head on over to ShuKuu Japanese Izakaya & Sake Bar.
