We revisit tried and tested restaurants in Singapore that have recently been refreshed and reintroduced. But despite their new location or renovated interiors, one thing remains unchanged: The commitment to serving the best.

At Shibui, Japanese fine dining is distilled into its most refined expression — purity of ingredient, precision of technique and serenity of setting. Framed by beachfront luxury in Nha Trang, the experience unfolds with omakase spirit and aesthetic restraint, earning Highly Recommended Best Japanese Restaurant at the Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2025. 

Widely regarded as one of the world’s most influential chefs, Tetsuya Wakuda remains as soft-spoken and humble as ever. Nearly four decades after redefining Japanese fine dining in Australia, he reflects on legacy, passion, and the quiet pursuit of perfection.

In a city defined by access, Sushi Amamoto introduces something rarer: restraint. Long revered in Taipei where reservations can take up to a year, the cult omakase counter has now arrived in London’s Mayfair, bringing with it a philosophy shaped not by excess, but by precision.

On the evenings of April 10 and 11, 2026, The Kaiseki Kyoto Meets Saigon brought together the quiet precision of Kyoto and the refined sensibility of Saigon, welcoming twelve guests each night into an intimate omakase experience defined by seasonality, restraint, and an exceptional attention to detail.
