Compliments to the chef! Our list of omakase restaurants in Singapore isn't only limited to sushi and sashimi.
When you think of Japanese food, sushi, ramen, yakitori, Japanese curry, teppanyaki and shabu shabu come to mind. That obviously leads us to choice paralysis, so when in doubt, we turn to the culinary art of omakase. For the uninitiated, omakase is a traditional Japanese meal, whose name literally means “I leave it up to you”. It’s commonly used in restaurants where the chef dishes out a series of plates depending on the ingredients available. So forget about making decisions, respect the chef and enjoy the gastronomical ride. Here’s our edit of the top omakase restaurants in Singapore.
1. Sushi Masa by Kisetsu
