Sushi Kimura
RESTAURANT SUMMARY

Where centuries-old tradition meets singular artistry, Sushi Kimura Singapore elevates the ancient craft of Edomae sushi through Chef Tomoo Kimura's meticulous devotion to perfection. This Michelin-starred sanctuary, with its intimate 22-seat capacity, represents the pinnacle of Singapore fine dining through an unwavering commitment to authenticity and seasonal Japanese excellence.
Chef Tomoo Kimura's journey began with fifteen years of rigorous training at Tokyo's legendary Tsukiji-Sushi Sei, established in 1889. After graduating from Hattori Nutrition College, he mastered the delicate art of fish aging—a technique that intensifies flavors and defines his culinary philosophy. Since opening in 2017, Sushi Kimura has maintained its coveted Michelin star, cementing its position among the best restaurants Singapore offers to discerning gourmands seeking authentic Japanese craftsmanship.
The omakase experience showcases Chef Kimura's pioneering approach to aged fish, featuring seasonal treasures like aged striped marlin sushi and his signature abalone slow-cooked in sake for eight hours. Each grain of A-grade Tsuya-hime organic rice, sourced exclusively from Yamagata Prefecture and prepared with mineral-rich Hokkaido spring water, provides the perfect foundation for pristine seafood flown daily from Japan's finest small-scale fishermen. The tasting menu evolves with the seasons, presenting delicacies such as uni, ikura, chopped toro with onsen tamago, and the ethereal chawanmushi with snow crab and shiitake mushrooms.
The restaurant's design reflects profound respect for Japanese heritage, centered around a stunning hinoki counter crafted from a single 150-year-old tree. Traditional elements include walls textured with Japanese earthen plaster representing the four seasons and centuries-old Noren fabric dividers that create an atmosphere of serene contemplation. The 12-seat sushi counter offers front-row access to Chef Kimura's artistry, while two private rooms provide intimate settings for special occasions.
Service embodies the essence of Japanese hospitality, with Chef Kimura personally guiding guests through each course while sharing insights about ingredients and preparation techniques. The carefully curated sake and wine program complements the delicate flavors without overwhelming the subtle nuances of each piece of sushi.
Sushi Kimura reservations require advance planning due to the restaurant's exclusive capacity and reputation among Singapore's culinary elite. This temple to Edomae tradition offers more than fine dining—it provides an authentic cultural immersion that honors both the craft's ancient roots and Chef Kimura's innovative vision, making it essential for anyone seeking the ultimate sushi experience in Singapore.
