The sake is very faint so the dish is no problem even for those who don't drink alcohol. Overall, good visit! Have you ever searched for "good food near me" only to find results that don't quite suit your taste or budget? Atmosphere is just what you expect at an izakaya. The sweetness for the tamago nigiri is just nice as well. Overall very good, expect to spend~$50 per person. Overall it was an great dining experience and would certainly come back again to try their other dishes! Start off your experience with their Agedashi Tofu ($6) and Gyu Ponzu ($8), think lightly seared fillet beef with ponzu sauce. Another must try dish. The beef is tender and juicy coupled with the sauce that elevated the umami taste, highly recommended!

My friend and i also ordered the iwashi mentai which was a little on the fishy side.

Have you ever searched for "good food near me" only to find results that don't quite suit your taste or budget? Looking for the best artisanal bakeries in Singapore?

Not suitable for everyone. - Short ribs skewer Will defintely visit again! The bacon asparagus and tori kara-age are my personal favourites when it comes to their offering of light bites. The meat is tender and well marinated! We also ordered the tamago nigiri and pork jowl nigiri which was not too bad. We had the swiss-style potato shreds with mentaiko, as well as the pork jowl charshu and onden. The food was average and the service was perfunctory, although the food was served very quickly. We ordered the Kani Gratin, Spicy Salmon Don and skewers. The food is awesome, especially the wagyu . Crab tomalley muso paste. The Kani Gratin is delicious, with very savoury cheese and macaroni. The drinks were pretty good too! Split a big bottle of house sake ($138 for 1.8L), it's very worth it. See more food at Shukuu Izakaya & Sake Bar . Get a round of Kushi-Yaki with your bottle of Sake Tsukune ($4.50), Buta Bara ($4.50), Shishito Pepper ($3.50) and Tochigi Wagyu A4 (Ribloin) ($9). And would definitely return for another great experience!

COPYRIGHT 2020 BURPPLE PTE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. - Bacon with Scallops. Maybe cos we came on a weekend and the weekday vibes are better? If you love mentaiko, you must have the satisfying Rosti Mentai ($8), long strips of potato 'noodles' doused in irresistible mentaiko sauce, and the Kani Gratin ($7), a baked crab dish mixed with cheese and mentaiko. Will definitely recommend and return again :). The mentaiko sauce really bombed! Me and my dining partner ordered a total of 6 dishes with sake. Curated by our editors, featuring great places and the latest food news. The pork jowl charshu was really springy and tender. COPYRIGHT 2020 BURPPLE PTE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. - Tori Karaage Food choices are plenty, and their ambience is lively as well. Quite addictive. We were pretty full when we arrived so we got (lots of) small plates to share. Served with crackers. Price was decent. Would have again. First time trying the Shirasu don and was pleasantly surprised by the flavour and texture. The meat was tender enough and the food was grilled well! COPYRIGHT 2020 BURPPLE PTE LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Looking for the best artisanal bakeries in Singapore?

Founded by four young professionals crazy about all things Japanese, this buzzy joint along Stanley Street creates an authentic Izakaya ambience with premium sake selections, charcoal-grilled skewers and donburis. They had many interesting choices to choose from and I had particularly enjoyed the mentaiko rosti which was delicious enough to warrant a second trip! I had a really good experience! Must-tries include the Kani Gratin (crab gratin with mentaiko) and Pork Jowl Chashu. Quite nice for small bites. The fatty meat was slightly charred, giving a fragrant taste. Order up a selection of Salmon Nigiri ($4.80), Maguro Yukke ($13), deep fried Tori Kara-age ($10) and end off the meal with the Ikura Don ($12). - Tsukune skewer Great food and ambience! The food was also tasty! From sourdough bread to amazing pastries, here are some of the best bakes we have curated around the island that do their best! Char siew with egg, one of the best dishes on the menu. Overall a nice play to chill and hangout after work :), Hakkaido scallops with mentaiko and cheese. The taste get heavily over time. Good for sharing otherwise it can be quite filling. The ambience was also lacking. Also treat yourself to some Sake no Sakamushi ($12 for three), oysters steamed with a splash of sake! Finishing off with the beef, chicken and pork skewers and the Tochigi Wagyu A4 is a must to order! Also ordered the rosti mentai which i liked it alot as well, those who love rosti and mentai should order it :D A short walk away from tanjong pagar mrt station - initially it looked quiet from the outside but when we went in, it had a great ambience!
