Sen of Japan

Sen of Japan is a modern Japanese restaurant and bar on Level 1 of The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. Its name comes from the Japanese word sen, which means fresh. The menu is built around raw fish, sushi and grilled dishes.

The restaurant reopened in July 2026 after a renovation. It suits a full Japanese meal near the bay without a long set menu. You can share small plates, order a large sashimi platter, or keep it simple with a rice bowl.

What to order

The menu is long and mostly à la carte. Raw fish is the main draw, with sashimi and nigiri sold by the piece or as platters.

• Chef's Omakase Sashimi Platter: 22 pieces of the chef's choice of premium fish, sized for two or three people.
• Sen Nigiri Moriawase: a set of nine premium nigiri.
• Special maki: rolls such as the Maguro Madness Maki with bluefin tuna, or the Mala Maki with soft-shell crab and a spicy mala sauce.
• Warm starters: uni chawanmushi, a steamed egg custard topped with sea urchin, plus chicken karaage and wagyu skewers.
• Mains: A5 wagyu striploin or tenderloin steak, salt-grilled yellowtail cheek, and black cod in a soy marinade.

Noodle and rice dishes include cold Inaniwa udon with prawn tempura, a wagyu don and a premium chirashi don. A set lunch menu, offered on some weekdays, includes a bara chirashi don. For dessert, try the Japanese tofu custard with kuromitsu syrup and kinako, or the yuzu cheesecake. There is also a separate drinks menu.

The setting

The restaurant sits on the waterfront side of the mall. You can also enter from the Marina Bay promenade, on the way to the ArtScience Museum. Window tables look out over the bay. Shades are sometimes drawn around midday, so the view is often best in the evening.

Inside, there are tables, banquette seats, a sushi counter for about five guests and a bar counter. The main room seats around 34 people. Two private rooms each take up to 10 guests, which suits family dinners or business meals.

Good to know before you go

• Book online through TableCheck from the Sen of Japan website, or call the restaurant.
• Ask for a window table when you book if the view matters to you.
• Tell your server about any allergies. The menu includes shellfish, raw fish and pork dishes.
• For private events, the restaurant takes enquiries by email.
