Had a great time trying the omakase, everything was really well put together, and you can tell a lot of care went into each dish. The flow of the meal was smooth, the ingredients fresh, and the presentation was lovely.
If I had to nitpick, the cooked fish in both the chawanmushi and yakimono was a little on the firm side for my taste. But overall, it was a really enjoyable experience.

One of the best omakase in Singapore, food was amazing and well prepared and over expectations!
Presentation was amazing really like it here! I’m very happy with the first crab dish, well presented on a huge leave and the flavour was magnificent!

My best kaiseki experience in Singapore. Every course was a visual and culinary masterpiece, beautifully presented with incredible attention to detail. The Donabe was full of umami, and I loved how the remaining rice was transformed into delicate onigiri to take home; the aroma and flavor lingered even after a few hours! A truly memorable meal from start to finish. Can’t wait to return

One of the best Japanese omakase in Singapore. The chef put our requests such as no beef and less carbs into the meal preparation. All dishes are meticulously prepared, beautifully presented and full with umami. The ensui uni is very sweet and fragrant (my favorite), the kegani caviar is very special, kinki nabe is very flavourful, the sashimi selections are excellent, toro uni handroll very tasty, kimo sauce is super good (can lick the plate for this) with awabi, similarly very tasty shiro miso with ise ebi, pork sukiyaki (special broth/sauce) with raw egg and special kyoto unagi donabe, the unagi is grilled to perfection and crispy. A very special dinner indeed from start to finish. The portions are just perfect. We can still enjoy a super sweet melon and a nice matcha mochi.
Very high quality ingredients, deeply respected the dedication of the chefs, farmers, waiters that have worked to create these outstanding meals and experience. A must repeat visit and thank you for bringing this to Singapore.

A truly unforgettable dining experience, each dish was refined and perfected to respect the incredible ingredients that were put into it. Highlights include the Miyazaki wagyu sukiyaki and the Hokkaido snow crab.
The melt in your mouth wagyu paired with the subtle sweetness of the sukiyaki broth and the silky egg yolk was nothing short of spectacular. It had a creamy depth that lingered delicately on the palate, a perfect balance of indulgence without being overwhelming.
Equally impressive was the Hokkaido snow crab, served to showcase the natural sweetness of the crab and its pristine freshness. Every bite was sweet, briny and subtly buttery, with refreshing hints of lime in the paired jelly.
From the intricate and precise plating, to the high quality ingredients, every detail underscored the true artistry behind fine Japanese cuisine.
Lastly, I deeply respect the dedicated farmers, chefs, and waiters that have worked to create the outstanding food that pays tribute to to the seasonality of the ingredients. Must-visit!

Excellent Kappo Restaurant on the 4th floor of Ngee Ann City. 12-counter seats. Spacious lounge area outside- almost like a Japanese whisky salon. Wide repertoire of dishes ranging from grilled unagi donabe (super crispy skin) with Hokkaido corn to a decadent negitoro/uni handroll. They pack the leftover unagi donabe into cute lotus-leaf-wrapped onigiris. Delicious and uber-fresh seasonal cuisine by a dedicated team of talented chefs led by Kenta-san. All counter seats were occupied on a Saturday night! Deservedly popular. $380++ for the top-end dinner Omakase.

All Japanese chef restaurants, some are even good looking :) a contemporary atmosphere served with authentic Japanese menu. Super fresh ingredients and perfect match of dishes to satisfy your palette. We even eat every bite of the decorative flowers and vegetables, it was so fresh!
Uni was thick, chunky, creamy and fresh
Toro was fatty and soft
Kinki fish - learned from the chef that’s a Hokkaido local deep sea fish. Super buttery!
We top up with a Uni Toro hand roll with sea salt, it was an explosive palette satisfaction. $68/78 per piece.

An absolutely unforgettable dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was flawless, attentive without ever feeling intrusive. Every dish was plated like a work of art and tasted even better than it looked. The flavors were bold yet perfectly balanced, and the wine pairings elevated the entire meal.
The ambiance was refined and intimate, with just the right lighting and music to make the evening feel special. Even the smallest details from the warm bread service to the final petits fours showed incredible thought and care.
This is more than just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of culinary artistry. Worth every dollar and every moment. I’ll be returning for the next special occasion without a doubt.

We made a last minute reservation for dinner and the restaurant was kind enough to accommodate us. As part of their service, they would show us the raw ingredients and they also offered to turn the rice into onigiri for us to take home.
As we were seated at the counter, we could see the chefs prepare the food and we added on a special Ala carte crab item.
We enjoyed the food throughly and would come back.

It’s a new Kappo cuisine located beside Crystal Jade. When you reach, you are ushered to a holding area before going into the main seating.
Food: 3.5⭐️
Service: 4⭐️
I give the good 3.5 as the arrangement of the food order might not be my personal liking. The tempura, on itself is nice, but I find it very filling and a bit abrupt in the taste. After which, the main dish is up and I am already full.
Service is definitely good, except the chef are not as engaging but certainly did try.
