Shinji By Kanesaka

 

Spreading the word about a new restaurant opened by a friend – SHINJI BY KANESAKA. Helmed by a top chef – Japanese sushi master Shinji Kanesaka, whose restaurant in Japan has earned two Michelin stars. The restaurant is at Raffles Hotel.

Quoting ST’s Wong Ah Yoke, “Dining there, one can easily imagine oneself in Tokyo because so much attention has been paid to ensure the experience is as authentic as possible to a traditional Japanese sushi restaurant. It is not only that the fish comes from Tokyo’s famous Tsukiji market…but it is also all the other details such as the interiors of the restaurant that include a counter carved from the trunk of a Japanese cypress tree and a ceiling covered in traditional hand-woven latticework.”

The two sushi counters and two private rooms seats a total of 42 people. Shinji only offers an omakase menu, which means the chef customizes a selection of items for each day’s guests based on the best ingredients available. The only choices are the number of items you want to eat, with corresponding prices.

Lunch ranges from $75 to $180. Dinner ranges from $220 to $450.
