172 Japanese Restaurants in Singapore

Singapore’s a compact town with a superb transport system, and all the city’s best hotels and shopping centres boast Japanese eateries. This means you're always within easy reach of great Japanese restaurants in Singapore. For a stately night out, you can partake in a sumptuous feast washed down with some fine sake in elegant tatami rooms in restaurants like Shinji by Kanesaka in the historic setting of the Raffles Hotel. If you prefer a more relaxed vibe, drop into an Izakaya bar. Here you can sample some great snacks including yakitori, edamame and, of course, sashimi, along with sake and Kirin beer. It's the Japanese equivalent of the tapas experience.

As aficionados know, there’s far more to Japanese food than sushi and sashimi. The good news is that today’s Japanese restaurants in Singapore serve up a rich and varied offering with something for all tastes. You can feast on crisply tempura, ramen or soba noodles, shabu-shabu hotpots, kare raisu curries, tonkatsu breaded pork cutlets, and much more, served in both renowned chains and individual restaurants.
