When it comes to sushi and sashimi, freshness and quality are paramount. And at Rakuzen Japanese Restaurant in Singapore, there is a very unique way of ensuring it. Proudly importing authentic ingredients directly from Japan, the fish at Rakuzen arrives at the restaurant in a sleep-like state, meaning it’s actually alive when it arrives in the restaurant. The restaurant also sources its rice from the famous Akitakomachi farm in Akita, which arrives unmilled. Each day the kitchen staff take on the task of milling the rice to perfection, ensuring that you get the highest possible quality and flavour. Impressive, don’t you think?

Located inside Millenia Walk near the Promenade on Raffles Boulevard, Rakuzen Japanese Restaurant goes above and beyond, which makes dish recommendations tricky as they’re all so good – but here goes anyway. You won’t want to miss out on sakura chirashi don, rokkak bento or the hotate mentaiyaki. Whether you live locally or just jumped off at Promenade station, you can’t go wrong with Rakuzen Japanese Restaurant. You can choose to sit inside the stylish restaurant or outside in the Singapore sunshine, either way, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got a booking when you arrive.
