Sushi Ichi, located in the heart of Singapore, earned a Michelin star for its exceptional Edomae-style sushi. This intimate restaurant brings the finest seasonal fish from Japan to the island nation, offering a pure and refined dining experience.
Chef & Philosophy
Chef-owner Kenji Tanaka believes in the beauty of simplicity, focusing on the harmony between vinegared rice and premium seafood. He sources directly from Tokyo's Toyosu Market, aging fish to enhance umami, and uses red vinegar for the rice to complement each ingredient's natural flavor.
Signature Experience
The omakase menu highlights treasures like otoro, Hokkaido sea urchin, and anago. Each nigiri is crafted with precision—warm rice, cool fish, and a brush of soy sauce. The meal also includes delicate appetizers, soup, and a hand-roll finale. Expect a 15- to 20-course journey.
Ambiance
With only eight counter seats, Sushi Ichi offers an intimate view of the chef's artistry. The minimalist wooden interior and soft lighting create a serene, focused atmosphere perfect for savoring every bite.
Practical Information
Reservations are essential, often booked weeks ahead; lunch and dinner seatings are available. Smart casual attire is recommended, and the experience lasts about two hours.
