Shukuu Izakaya & Sake Bar

Had dinner at Shukuu Japanese Izakaya and Bar on a weekend night. The place is located along Stanley Street, an area packed with plenty of popular eateries.

The first dish I had was the Crab Gratin with Mentaiko, creatively served in a crab head. The potato was cooked perfectly—soft but not crumbling when eaten—with notable chunks of crab within, all topped with a generous amount of torched mentaiko. Another mentaiko dish that I thoroughly enjoyed was the Rosti Mentai, which featured a plentiful amount of torched mentaiko paired perfectly with shredded rosti potatoes that had crisp edges and a soft, steamy interior.

I also ordered several Kushiyaki, namely the Tontoro Black Pork Collar, Bacon with Asparagus, and my personal favorite, Tsukune Meatballs. The meatballs were superbly well glazed, and the meat was juicy and flavorful.

Last but definitely not least, for drinks, I decided to try the Sawanotsuru Aged Umeshu. It was sweet with hints of sourness and a pleasant plum aroma, and I will most certainly be getting an entire bottle to enjoy at home.

I highly recommend Shukuu Izakaya to anyone looking for a great night out with friends and family while enjoying good Japanese izakaya cuisine and drinks.

i tried the sake of the week (dry), sapporo draft beer, nikka from the barrel, akebono umeshu white label, and kaki fry. the sake was flavourful but a bit strong for my liking so i think it will suit people with stronger tastebuds better... i should have asked for a lighter sake instead. the sapporo draft beer on the other hand, was lighter in taste and less gassy so i really liked it. the whiskey was also pretty nice but what stood out to me the most was the umeshu (and also the sake). the umeshu was sweet and smooth, making it palatable for those who are beginners in japanese alcohol. as someone who had tried alcohol in japan before, i really recommend trying the umeshu! the oysters were pretty nice too but i think their specialty is in alcohol so i think the standard of the food is still quite okay. all in all it is a really lovely environment to drink with work friends after work

It was my first time going to an Izakaya in Singapore and had a great experience there. The staff were very friendly and gave recommendations on what alcohol to get. Additionally, the ambience was great for chill drinks, especially for after work with colleagues. Love the Japanese music being played in the background while enjoying my drink with my friend!

I ordered 2 alcohol drinks; Yuzu Shochu as well as Yuzushu. The yuzu shochu was super refreshing, light alcohol content and sweet yuzu taste! As for the yuzushu, it was sweet with a stronger yuzu taste while also carrying a slightly sour taste due to the umeshu. Preferred the yuzu shochu over the yuzushu but both drinks are really refreshing and great for non heavy drinkers like myself! Also ordered Japanese breaded oysters to complement the drinks. At first they tasted like breaded fish but the fragrant oyster taste came out after savoring it longer. The sauce that went along with it was sweet too.

Overall it was a lovely experience and I would definitely go back in future.

I had some of their yakitoris to try, and they were delightful!! Satisfied with the whole experience there (: I recommended pairing the yakitoris with a sake to try. We had both sweet and dry sake, and I preferred the sweet one more.

Service is fast and the food is fresh. The unagi-yamato combination was great!

Service is good and the Ikura Don and the sushi is sooo good ! Will defo go again
