Sushi Sakuta

Sushi Sakuta is an Edomae sushi restaurant at Millenia Walk, on Raffles Boulevard near Marina Bay. Meals are omakase only, served piece by piece at a long counter. The style is simple: each piece should taste clearly of the fish.

Chef-owner Yoshio Sakuta began cooking at 18 and trained at sushi restaurants in Japan and the United States. The restaurant first opened at The Capitol Kempinski Hotel and moved to Millenia Walk in 2025. It was promoted from one to two Michelin stars in 2025, and it kept both stars in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Singapore.

What to order

There is no à la carte menu. You choose an omakase menu, and the chefs plan it around the fish of the day. The Michelin Guide notes that the menu uses only Japanese fish and changes with the seasons.

• Lunch: two menus, each with appetisers, a run of nigiri, soup and dessert.
• Dinner: a standard omakase with five appetisers and ten pieces of sushi.
• Sakuta-Shima: a menu that swaps one appetiser and one piece of sushi for two tempura courses made by Tenshima.

Reviews of recent dinners mention snow crab chawanmushi, ankimo (monkfish liver), abalone and eel. Nigiri have included otoro (fatty tuna belly), uni, kawahagi (filefish) and Japanese tiger prawn. Treat these as examples, as the line-up changes often.

The rice is a blend of Hitomebore and Sasanishiki grains, seasoned with both red and white vinegar. A head sommelier suggests sake and wine pairings, and the drinks list includes rare bottles.

The setting

The room is quiet and spare, in a traditional Japanese style. The counter is cut from a 200-year-old cypress tree from Nara, and it lets every guest watch the chefs at work. It seats about ten people. A separate private room seats up to six.

Good to know before you go

• Book ahead: bookings are made online through the official website. Seats are few, so plan early.
• No strong perfume: the restaurant asks guests not to wear heavy scent, as strong smells affect the meal.
• No corkage: outside bottles are not allowed.
• Cancellations: late cancellations and no-shows carry a fee per person. Cancellations must be made by phone.
• Parking: the Michelin Guide lists a car park and valet parking.
