1. Sushi Hara
Dubbed one of Tatler Dining Guide 2022’s best sushi spots in town, Sushi Hara is at the top of its game when it comes to omakase. Executive chef Usami Yasuro, who hails from historic Yokohama, boasts over 34 years of experience behind the sushi counter and finesse that not many possess.
Their omakase menu is updated daily, reflecting the availability and freshness of their ingredients. All you have to do is decide on how many types of sushi you’d like as part of your meal and the rest is up to those who wield the sushi knives. Along with deputy chef Kelvin Wan, Chef Usami carefully crafts each piece of sushi; to them, working with fish is not just a job but a lifestyle and a way to continue tradition.
