10. Ichigo Ichie’s new menu
Tea lovers, this one’s for you. Ichigo Ichie, the kappo restaurant at Claymore Connect helmed by chef Akane Eno, has rolled out a seven-course tea-focused menu. We’re talking tea as broth, marinade, smoke, and basically the menu’s co-star. At $288++ per person, this splurge-worthy booking requires three days’ advance notice, so don’t try to wing it on a whim.
Things kick off with a welcome cold brew of Taiwan’s Gui Fei oolong, where a honeyed sweetness comes from tiny green leafhoppers munching on the leaves. Next, the kegani (horse hair crab) and murasaki uni starter with chilled white asparagus, asparagus sorbet, and tosazu jelly offered an impeccable first bite.
Sashimi-wise, the suzuki (sea bass) gets a drizzle of gyokuro-infused sesame oil that adds a savoury depth, while the hon maguro (bluefin tuna) is steeped in Guo Mu oolong-spiked shoyu. It’s subtle, but you’ll notice it.
Our favourite of the evening? The charcoal-grilled unagi dish, smoked over houjicha leaves for a nutty, toasty finish with the most gorgeous char and crunch. But the donabe’s also a hit: Koshihikari rice cooked with 1998 Liu Bao tea leaves, charcoal-grilled Hokkaido abalone, and fried burdock root for a comforting finish. Dessert closes things out on a refreshing note – blood orange sorbet paired with Izumi tea syrup and kanten jelly.
When: Until August 2026
How much: 7-course tea-focused menu at $288++ per person
Where: Ichigo Ichie, #01-16/17, Claymore Connect, 442 Orchard Road, Singapore 238879
