We had a lunch here on Saturday and overall quite standard, courses also reasonable with it’s quality and portion. Will try other courses next time or different season to see what’s the difference.
Edo-style sushi omakase along Tanglin Road
Shinji by Kanesaka is a Japanese restaurant in Singapore specializing in Edo-style sushi omakase. Located on Tanglin Road, we serve multi-course lunch and dinner menus centered on traditional nigiri, sashimi, and seasonal seafood. Our chefs prepare each piece directly behind our hinoki sushi counter and serve it immediately. We operate Monday through Saturday, offering set omakase courses with dishes such as tamago, chawanmushi, and warm-rice sushi.

Went for lunch. Cozy ambience with super friendly staff and head chef was engaging us with stories and sushi. I love some of the sushi with smoked taste and everything is just right. This is not the first time i have been there. And there will be many more times 😊
We celebrated my birthday and Valentines’ Day here because my husband has been talking about coming back to Shinji for years since he first ate here 4 years ago. It did not disappoint. Each dish looked deceptively simple but you can taste and feel the care in everything that was presented. I wish I took a picture of that amazing looking tamago. (How was it so smooth with a uniform color???) The sushi rice was warm and slightly salted so you don’t eat it with shoyu. Even the seaweed was something different. The staff makes sure to clean the table with every dish served and constantly changes the cups of tea to make sure it’s always hot. I would recommend this place if you love sushi and sashimi and want to enjoy an elevated twist on what you already know and love. Unless the price tag is a drop in the bucket for you, I would not recommend this place if you don’t care much about distinguishing the flavours of each type of fish. (Or, if you don’t eat seafood….) The experience was only marred by a excessively obnoxious bunch of people next to us, which was unfortunate, but not something that the restaurant can control……… I’m not sure if I’ll be able to come back but it was an unforgettable dining experience. :)
Totally enjoyed an exceptional omakase at Shinji by Kanesaka, St. Regis. Every dish, from pristine nigiri to delicate chawanmushi, was a study in balance, texture, and seasonal finesse, presented with understated elegance. The chefs worked with efficiency and mastery behind the hinoki counter, serving each piece of sushi immediately after it was made. This created a particularly memorable culinary experience, where the warmth of the rice, the freshness of the fish and the timing of the bite all come together in perfect harmony. Shinji absolutely deserves its Michelin star — this is Edomae sushi at its most refined!
Amazing night and experience! Dishes were immaculate and best we have ever tried here in Singapore. Quality, service and the chefs made sure our anniversary dinner went perfect. Even surprised us when they dressed up. Highly recommend. Worth every cent!
