Japanese Food In SG 🇯🇵

Available only during lunch, while the Overflowing Ikura Don, the larger version, is available too for a higher price. When you are craving ikura don but not feeling too hungry, this is just the right portion to go for. Nothing fancy, just simply ikura over pearl rice with a small portion of grated wasabi.

Chewy, al-dente thin noodles served in a rich, savoury pork bone broth. The soup was thick, creamy, and packed with flavour. We loved it. Chicken oil was drizzled over to enhance the aroma. As for the cha siu, it was pretty moderate. The texture was slightly firm, the fattiness was decent but could have been softer, and the overall flavour was quite normal. The red dot of sauce on top was made with seasonings specially sourced from Fukuoka, providing an authentic spice kick.

Beef tongue is so damn good. Each slice was packed with fattiness and umami-ness. The spice level was mild and helped enhance the flavour of the already delicious tongue. The chewy, bite-sized texture made it a perfect pairing for a glass of drink.

Freshly fried chicken served with vinegar and tartar sauce. A great hot tapas dish to kick-start your appetite. Four big, tender chunks coated with generous amounts of sauce over sliced onions. Savoury and juicy with a touch of zestiness.

❌ Travel to Japan
✅ Japan Comes to You

Yep! This cosy spot with Japan vibes is right here in SG! My friend and I went for lunch on a Sunday, which was usually their rest day, but they recently changed their operating hours, so that was good news. We wanted to try several dishes, but most of them were only available during dinner. Oh well... Guess that were our fate. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed most of the food here.

Chicken Nanban ($12++)
Freshly fried chicken served with vinegar and tartar sauce. A great hot tapas dish to kick-start your appetite. Four big, tender chunks coated with generous amounts of sauce over sliced onions. Savoury and juicy with a touch of zestiness.

Gyu-Tan Spice ($16++)
Beef tongue is so damn good. Each slice was packed with fattiness and umami-ness. The spice level was mild and helped enhance the flavour of the already delicious tongue. The chewy, bite-sized texture made it a perfect pairing for a glass of drink.

Hakata Ramen (Tonkotsu) ($15++)
Chewy, al-dente thin noodles served in a rich, savoury pork bone broth. The soup was thick, creamy, and packed with flavour. We loved it. Chicken oil was drizzled over to enhance the aroma. As for the cha siu, it was pretty moderate. The texture was slightly firm, the fattiness was decent but could have been softer, and the overall flavour was quite normal. The red dot of sauce on top was made with seasonings specially sourced from Fukuoka, providing an authentic spice kick.

Mini Ikura Don ($19++)
Available only during lunch, while the Overflowing Ikura Don, the larger version, is available too for a higher price. When you are craving ikura don but not feeling too hungry, this is just the right portion to go for. Nothing fancy, just simply ikura over pearl rice with a small portion of grated wasabi.

Highly recommend making a reservation, as the place is quite small, as seen in the video, and the seating is quite tight and squeezy. Service was pleasant tho.

Feeling thirsty? Their Ya Shi Xiang Lemon Tea ($2.20) is sweet, zesty, and refreshingly chilled.

Famous Japanese Curry Cheese Bread Chain, Giraffa, Now in Singapore!? Have You Tried It Yet?

With three consecutive Gold Awards in the Curry Bread Grand Prix, you know they take their craft seriously.

The bread dough is chewy and carries a slight sweet milky flavour. It is airy and puffy on the inside with a pleasantly crisp exterior. The curry filling is a unique blend of 30 carefully selected spices, developed through multiple rounds of experimentation to achieve its deep, rich, and savoury profile. It also contains pork and beef, giving it a meaty texture. And, of course, the melted cheese adds an extra layer of savouriness, aesthetic appeal, and a playful cheese pull.

TBH, I found the filling inside the bun to be on the lighter side, possibly to maintain balance and prevent it from spilling out due to weight distribution. Still, I wish they provided more. The bun's crispy texture is specially formulated to achieve the right crunch, avoiding traditional breadcrumbs for a better bite.

The buns were originally priced at $5.60 each but are now available at $3.60. I find this price reasonable, but at the original price, I would think twice. That said, I wouldn't go out of my way just for them, but I might pick one up if I happen to be in the area.

I also agree with others regarding the individual eating paper bag (not the box). It has an unpleasant smell, almost like stale oil, which is quite off-putting. It could ruin the experience, so it’s best to skip the bag and eat it with your hands instead.

If you’re in the area, give it a shot and let me know what you think!

A delightful dried filefish snack that pairs perfectly with sake or beer. Sweet, soft, chewy, and smoky. A simple yet tastisfying treat.

Grilled tender octopus tentacles coated in a sweet-savoury miso butter glaze. The glaze added a rich umami flavour that perfectly complemented the juicy, succulent texture of the octopus. Every bite was packed with flavour and absolutely addictive.

Three succulent prawns with tomalley, prepared in salt, cheese, and mentaiko flavours. The smoky, charred prawn meat was juicy and full of savoury goodness, with the tomalley adding an extra burst of flavour. The salt flavour was already fantastic with its original taste profile; the cheese topping was melty and stretchy, while the mentaiko added an irresistible umami kick. Prawns were easy to peel, making the experience even better.

Crispy chicken wings stuffed with a pork-based gyoza filling. It was savoury, meaty, and flavourful. The fats and juices from the chicken blended neatly with the marinated minced meat, creating a tastisfying and tasty snack. Absolutely delicious!

Sake is more my style, and this yuzu sake from Kyoto Prefecture was nice. With a 10% alcohol content, it was citrusy, refreshing, and had an alluring sweetness with a gentle bite. Best served chilled. A fun bonus, you can choose your sake cup from their collection to personalise your drinking experience.
