You don't have to book a flight to Japan for first-rate sushi. Simply sashay down to Shinji by Kanesaka which offers traditional Edo-style sushi prepared with only the best seasonal seafood from the Pacific Ocean. Sit at the 300-year-old hinoki sushi counter for a rarefied experience and be amazed by the knife skills of your itamae as he creates these delicate sensations. Alternatively dine in one of the two private rooms – Sakura and Icho (Gingko) – each furnished and decorated with great Japanese authenticity, craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The omakase lunch delivers 12 pieces of sushi from SG$125, while dinner ups the ante, with 15 pieces of nigiri setting you back SG$220. The menu changes by the season but don’t miss a rice bowl of uni (sea urchin), ikura (salmon roe) and negitoro (chopped tuna) – for the ultimate seafood dish.
