I was blown away by Kazu San Omakase menu. Very intelligent cooking, simple, clean, produce driven and packed with umami! A very progressive menu with each bite. Kazu cooked for us and spent time explaining his techniques and talking about his sourcing direct from Japan. Stunning food, service and entertaining evening, even if I over did the sake!

Fantastic Japanese two Michelin star restaurant in Singapore. The acclaimed chef combines sometimes European ingredients or cooking techniques with Japanese traditions in a very innovative and pleasing way. Choose between the chef’s table, the charming dining room or the traditional Omakase dinner. Reserve 30 minutes to find to the restaurant, as it may be complicated. Maybe a glass on top of Marina Bay Sands before the dinner?
