Omakase @ Stevens

Tanglin·$$$

Seasonal White Fish Nigiri

SGD35.00

Daily white fish selection with delicate preparation and no toppings.

Tip: The white fish course is where Chef Arimoto's sourcing and technique shine—ask which region the fish came from. The specificity differs nightly.

Sushi Sakuta

Marina Centre·$$$

Fatty Tuna (Otoro) Nigiri

SGD45.00

Premium fatty tuna from the prime belly, delivering umami and melt.

Tip: Chef Sakuta's toro arrives later in the progression after lighter pieces—the sequencing ensures that the rice's sweetness has been established, making the toro's richness feel balanced rather than heavy.

Sushi Sakuta

Marina Centre·$$$

Seasonal White Fish Nigiri

SGD40.00

Daily white fish sourced at precise ripeness, draped over heritage rice.

Tip: The white fish course is where Chef Sakuta's sourcing mastery shows—the seasonality and ripeness differ nightly, so asking about the specific fish becomes part of the experience.

Shinji by Kanesaka

Orchard·$$$

Nigiri: Hokkaido Scallop

SGD22.00

Hand-formed sushi with premium diver scallop and seasoned rice.

Tip: Eat each nigiri in one bite and let it sit momentarily on your palate — the rice temperature and topping temperature are calibrated to peak at one specific moment.

Omakase @ Stevens

Tanglin·$$$

Fatty Tuna (Toro) Nigiri

SGD40.00

Premium fatty tuna belly with umami-rich preparation.

Tip: This course typically arrives mid-progression—the timing allows the rice's sweetness to have already been established, making the toro's richness feel harmonious rather than heavy.

Waku Ghin

Marina Bay·$$$

Hokkaido Scallop

SGD78.00

Sweet diver scallop with light wasabi and sudachi citrus.

Tip: The scallop arrives at body temperature — consume it immediately to experience the intended contrast between the ingredient's warmth and the cool rice.

Chef Hamamoto

Chinatown·$$$

Nigiri: Hokkaido Scallop

SGD26.00

Premium diver scallop sourced from pristine Hokkaido beds.

Tip: Watch the chef's hand as he prepares this — you'll see how he selects the thinnest knife stroke and minimal rice to let the scallop shine.

Shinji by Kanesaka

Orchard·$$$

Nigiri: Aged Toro (Fatty Tuna)

SGD28.00

Marbled fatty tuna belly aged for optimal richness and umami.

Tip: Ask the server which fish are aged versus fresh that day — the difference in texture and flavour is instructive and showcases the chef's full range.

Engawa Nigiri

SGD2.99

Grilled flounder fin with crispy edges on seasoned rice.
