Description: Stillness... Serenity... Harmony いらっしゃいませ Irashaimase (welcome) to Shoukouwa — your oasis of calm in the city centre, where you will savour authentic, world-class fine-dining edomae sushi experience, direct from Ginza in Tokyo. Edomae sushi tradition dates back to the illustrious Edo era in Japan. Nowadays, edomae sushi chefs take pride in serving only the best seasonal seafood and produce, presenting diners with the purest flavours of the food with minimal cooking and manipulation. At Shoukouwa, the fresh fish, seafood and produce are flown daily to Singapore from Tokyo’s famed Tsukiji Market. The art of fine sushi is one that is contemplative and considered – like a Zen expression. The perfect sushi is a delicate balance of the quality of fish, proportion and temperature. The fish must be of the highest grade, undamaged during the catch, and very fresh. Ideally, the perfect sushi should be consumed within seconds of being served, with either chopsticks or clean hands. Our Japanese chefs hail from this edomae sushi tradition, having honed their artistry and skills with years of experience at prestigious Ginza establishments. With no more than eight seats right in front of the chef’s preparation table, our guests will have direct interaction with and personalised attention by our chefs. Shoukouwa is launched under the Emmanuel Stroobant Group Luxury Collection in partnership with Japanese cuisine specialist Hanachiyo, who co-founded Sushi Shikon in Hong Kong, which remains the first and only Japanese restaurant in Hong Kong with the distinction of three Michelin stars. She subsequently formed a restaurant consultancy that serves clients throughout Asia, including the restaurant Mizumi at the Wynn Resorts in Macau, who seek to offer the finest, authentic Japanese cuisine to discerning international consumers, across genres that include sushi, teppanyaki, tempura, ramen and more. We welcome you... いただきます Itadakimasu!

Sushi that melts in your mouth. That is what i remember from my meal. Just delicious. Very friendly chefs and serving staff. Small cosy place. A bit expensive but thats what you pay for the high quality seafood that gets flown in each day. Frankly thats better than some high priced places where you leave wondering what warrants the high prices. All in all excellant and memorable sushi in Singapore where this kind of highest quality raw seafood in the hot tropics is unusual.

We had the premium Hana Omakase - the starters and cooked dishes were excellent but the sushi dishes didn't impress at all considering that Shoukouwa has 2 Michelin stars. Overall it was still a good meal but at such premium prices we had expected Shoukouwa to be excellent on ALL accounts with the WOW factor but it didn't meet up..

This restaurant is a must for any fan of Japanese cuisine. Michelin starred restaurants can sometimes be a let down - not this one. With the freshest ingredients, food is prepared meticulously to ensure that it lives up to the hype and reputation.

Good experience throughout 2 hours, ingredients consider very fresh but the key is the chef skill to craft each menu was excellent. Sushi is among the best I’ve dine on my omakase courses. Service staff also very nice.

Our experience here was absolutely top notch.

The staff were friendly and fun, the setting (a small room with 2 other couples) was simple, stylish and encouraged conversation with our hilarious table mates, and the sake list is excellent.

But of course the most impressive thing is the food. We had the longer of the two tasting menus and each dish was more delicate and perfect than the last.

I can’t recommend a trip here more highly, their two stars are well deserved.
