If you enjoy edo-style sushi and omakase but could only visit the those top Japanese restaurants only very occasionally (just like me), then this is a great alternative at less than half the price. An edo omakase elsewhere would easily cost $300++ and above during dinners.

This is hidden within the ground floor interior of Tamaya Dining along Cuppage Road, with only 12 counter seats. Its flagship in Osaka is a three-time Michelin- recommended Bib Gourmand (2016 to 2018) restaurant with its consistent standard and quality. And I found the outlet in Singapore to be good too.

For the $140++ omakase, you get three appetisers, two seasonal sashimi, a seasonal dish, the restaurant's signature 10-piece nigiri sushi, a soup and dessert. There's also a $90++ option which comes with 10 pieces of nigiri sushi. And whichever option you choose, the sushi is prepared in front of you, and served by the chef a la minute. Experience the rhythm and finesse of the chefs as they artfully prepare and mold each nigiri in the open sushi counter (see my full experience in my IG story highlights).

Pictured: my favourite course of the evening, Negitoro Handroll, with generous potions of very fatty tuna, served in crisp toasted seaweed.
