Best Japanese Restaurants in Singapore

Singapore has one of Asia's best Japanese food scenes outside Japan itself, a product of the city's close cultural and economic ties with Japan and a food-obsessed population that demands authenticity. Orchard Road and the CBD have excellent high-end Japanese options — including several restaurants that attract Japanese expats for their strict adherence to Tokyo standards. For more casual Japanese dining, Tanjong Pagar and Bugis have vibrant ramen, yakiniku, and izakaya scenes that buzz on weekday evenings.
