Best Japanese restaurant in Singapore

O	Overweight Reviewer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Quite expensive, be prepared for a big hole in your wallet. If the omakase was 20% cheaper, it would’ve been really worth it. The food here is excellent, I especially liked the biwamasu and samegarei sashimi. The binchotan-grilled fish were fantastic as well. Her signature Japanese prawn mee (her take on the Singapore hae mee) is delicious- cold somen in intense prawn broth with caviar, botan ebi and uni. Didn’t fancy the claypot chestnut rice - rice was close to tasteless (as to be expected if you’re just using chestnuts). But it was complemented with A5 omi beef done sukiyaki style which in itself is a flavor bomb. Service can be improved, can see that they’re still finding their grounding.
J	Jan Yeo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cosy spot for kappo style omakase. Almost like private dining. Can feel a very personal touch on the dishes and ingredients chosen by the Chef Akanoe. Fresh, delicious and also surprised by unique flavour combinations with less known ingredients from the usual. Ceramic is handpicked. Dashi is a house blend. And she even had a house label sake that is delightful to drink.
T	Terence Teng on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Food is very fresh and delicious. Female Japanese chef has very high standards and creates omakase dishes which are feast for both your eyes and taste buds. A small authentic Japanese restaurant with around 10-15seats. Chef, service and food is great but slightly on the expensive range. Given their food is really fresh, it is worth giving it a try.
L	Li Lin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very good set meal but the quality is slightly behind other places of the same price range. The best dish of the set of shrimp with shoumen. Other dishes like sashimi were good but tastes...predictable. The main dish is wagyu with truffle, which, tastes like the similar dish in other places, oily beef with tasteless truffle, a bit too rich without rice or alchahol ton swallow. The donabe rice, thought tasty, wasn't the al dente texture I liked. Their specialty hojicha tea and ice cream were excellent and quite unique. I wish their other dishes were of the same quality.
A	Agnes Susinto on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Honestly, not worth the $350 and calories! Would rather spend that for other Kaiseki places. All the dishes were meh, even the signature somen dish was so disappointing. Sloppy sashimi cutting knife skill. Not very good quality ingredients for the price. Takayama & Kappo Kaji win still
S	Shaokai Fan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In a city that is spoiled for choice when it comes to high-end Japanese cuisine, Ichigo Ichie manages to set the bar even higher. The essence of Japanese cuisine is subtlety, not flamboyance. While some might tend towards ostentatious displays of wagyu and uni, Ichigo Ichie impresses with an expertly-crafted dashi or a masterful arrangement of vegetables in peak season. Chef Akane's dinner courses exemplify her passion and precision, transforming the best that Japan has to offer into an unforgettable feast. Like the saying that inspired its name, a meal at Ichigo Ichie is an encounter to be treasured.
F	Fiona RQL on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It has been on my want-to-go list for long time. Overall it’s nice dining experience but didn’t exceed my expectations. My favorite parts of the courses were the grilled/fried vegetables ingredients. The texture and seasoning were well balanced. I also like the dish called Kaburamushi. It’s a rare dish to me. Only i googled i know it’s Kyoto local cuisine. The subtle umami was the best. Coincidentally, the Japanese omakame recently i had all have ebi+uni+somen as signature course. The somen course here was really the most simple way of having somen with typical dipping sauce, topping with the fresh experience ingredients. I actually expected it to have more layers of flavor or in a way it can surprise me. But it didn’t. Another rare ingredient to mention was the Iga beef. It was different from all the beef i ever had. The fat distribution was even and high. I also like the dessert ice cream a lot too.
L	L F Cheng on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Understanding Japanese culture through food brought in from different parts of Japan during this season. For example, Beni Madonna (orange), is from Ehime Ken which is one of best Japanese farmers have created. There are other dishes which also let us learn something & enjoy the food. Nice ceramics from Kyushu. Great sake selection. Chef Akane & her team work hard to bring the best. An enjoyable dinner with friends in the cozy restaurant.
