Ginza Sushi Ichi

Ginza Sushi Ichi is the Singapore branch of a sushi restaurant from the Ginza district of Tokyo. It serves traditional Edomae sushi as set omakase menus at a wooden counter. You will find it on the ground floor of Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel on Orchard Road.

The MICHELIN Guide lists it as Sushi Ichi, and it holds one Michelin star in the 2026 Singapore guide. It is also one of a small group of restaurants that have appeared in every edition of the Singapore guide since the first one in 2016.

What to order

The meal is built around set courses, and the chefs choose what to serve based on the season. Seafood and vegetables come from Japan. Even the sauces are shipped from the Tokyo flagship to keep the taste the same. The sushi rice is seasoned with either red or white vinegar.

Lunch has the widest choice of sets:

• Tsubaki: the lightest set, with an appetiser, nigiri, a small salmon roe rice bowl and kanpyo maki, a roll of dried gourd.
• Botan: adds sashimi, a cooked dish, a sea urchin and salmon roe bowl, and a tuna roll.
• Lunch Omakase: a fuller meal with two cooked dishes and a torotaku roll of fatty tuna and pickled radish.

Dinner has three menus. Omakase Nigiri centres on nigiri sushi. The Sushi Ichi course adds assorted sashimi and two cooked dishes. Chef's Signature Omakase is the top menu, shaped around the best seasonal produce from Japan. Omakase Nigiri and the signature menu are also served at lunch. Most sets finish with miso soup and dessert.

The setting

The room is quiet and simple, in a classic Japanese style. Most guests sit at the sushi counter and watch the chefs shape each piece. The MICHELIN Guide notes that the counter was cut from cypress wood around 300 years old. A private room takes up to eight guests. Larger groups of up to 13 can be seated in the main dining hall.
