Imamura

Located in an old colonial chapel within Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa is kaiseki restaurant Imamura, helmed by the affable chef-owner Hirofumi Imamura. With over 20 years of culinary experience, he believes that simple is always better in crafting his omakase menus. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared using the best seasonal ingredients procured from Japan and prepared in minimal ways to let their natural flavours shine through. The art of omotenashi, or looking after the guests wholeheartedly, guides Imamura and his team: there are only 13 seats at the counter table, so the chef can talk to each customer and explain the food in greater detail. The sake list is also fantastic, curated to complement the food in liquid form.

Tatler Tip:

While the chef prefers to use truffles in the donabe dish because they are easily available all year round, he is able to swap out the rice with truffles for any vegetable or fish in season too – make sure to put in the request in advance.
