Central's Diverse Japanese Bar and Restaurant
This Japanese bar and restaurant is located in the Standard Chartered Bank Building in Central, offering a diverse range of Japanese cuisine including sushi Omakase, teppanyaki, and yakitori. Most of the ingredients are fresh and high-quality, directly imported from Japan, with creative elements incorporated.
The restaurant is divided into several areas, with dining areas on both sides of the signature oval bar. The main dining area features a sushi bar and teppanyaki, and occasionally hosts live DJ performances in the evening.
Sitting at the chef's bar allows you to watch the chefs at work, who add new elements and personal touches to traditional Edomae sushi.
