Wallet-friendly omakase has arrived at the Joo Chiat neighbourhood. Jimoto Dining , located round the corner of a row of heritage Peranakan shophouses on Joo Chiat Road, is led by chef Takahiro Sato; the Tokyo native crafts edomae-style sushi at the 14-seater sushi counter.
Go for the premium seven-course Zeitaku set ($128) to get the full experience; seasonal fish like whitefin trevally and Kyushu bonito are of pristine quality. Thanks to a secret vinegar blend, the sasanishiki rice from Miyagi prefecture lends a gentle acidity to complement the rich, fatty fish. Opt for the sake pairing; a $30 supplement gets you five sakes, including the Saito Junmai and Nunbubijin ‘Trophy’ Honjozo.
