This classy yet unassuming restaurant in Wisma's Japanese food town wowed me with it's quality service and pretty good food. Pictured is the demiglace katsudon ($25++) with dashi soup (bonito flakes boiled in water) and a surprising appitizer of radish and greens on a bed of jellified shoyu.
While it is only above average for Singapore standards; in my travels, I never had such good dashi soup before. It's incredibly smoky yet refreshing aftertaste compliments the end of the meal.

Wild Caught Seabream Rice Set

Satisfying meal with good quality of ingredients.
[Two Michelin Star 🌟🌟 in Japan] This was SO GOOD, especially when I was only expecting a scoop of ice cream as the menu only says "dessert of the day".
🔸
It was a full fledged dessert of top notch quality, featuring white wine jelly, pear from Navajo, melon from Hokkaido, all sitting on top of Hokkaido milk pudding. Refreshing natural sweetness from the pear and melon, mild and delicate acidity and alcohol from the white wine jelly.. mix these with the creamy and fragrant Hokkaido milk pudding.
🔸
Don't let this just be a dessert of the day, put it permanently on the dessert menu please!

[Two Michelin Star 🌟🌟 in Japan] The simplicity and light taste here is executed so well that it's like a homely and sincere meal even though no fanciful ingredients are used. When the water used are from Mount Fuji imported from Japan, you know they're serious in bringing their 2 Michelin star quality to Singapore.
🔸
There was three ways of eating this - first as it is; second with the Japanese condiments, then finally pour in the dashi and eat is as am dashichazuke.
🔸
The A5 omi wagyu beef is now beside the point, because the star is in the perfection of a simple dashi made using only 4 ingredients - kelp, tuna, bonito flakes and mount Fuji water. I asked for more servings and drank them as soup.
Finishing off with a cold dessert of the day.
Seizan in Tokyo is a two-Michelin-starred kaiseki restaurant and Nabe Seizan is their first outpost in #Singapore
Likely the most pricey within Japan Food Town. I'll recommend Tajimaya Shabu Shabu for less than 1/2 price and all you can eat A5 Hokkaido beef.
The dashi based soup was the best I've had locally and the japanese vegetables used were superbly fresh. ⭐️Rating : 🌝🌝🌝

Omi Beef Lunch Set ($38)
Starter: Scallops with Spinach and Soy Sauce jelly topped with edible flowers 🌸.
Main: Omi Beef 🐂 Slices and minced Beef Don served with Ichiban Dashi.
Dessert: Cream with Rum and Japanese sugar served with Grapes 🍇 and Wine Jelly 😍.
This lunch set is so value for money. After having tasted Kobe and Matsusaka beef, being introduced to the last of the top 3 kinds of beef was an experience in itself. The Omi Beef was full of meaty flavour without the lingering beefy odour. The Don was mean to be first eaten as it is, then with the condiments (spring onions and nori). Lastly, with the premium Dashi stock (I enjoyed this most!).
Nabe Seizan is an offshoot of Seizan in Tokyo, a 2 🌟🌟 Michelin-Starred restaurant.
