Hidden along Tras Street, Hamamoto is an intimate 12-seat sushi-kappo restaurant led by Kyoto-born Chef Kazuhiro Hamamoto, who brings over two decades of experience from Kyoto, Tokyo, and Singapore. Tried the Hamamoto Experience menu, with several dishes leaving a lasting impression. The Ise Ebi & Yoichi Murasaki Uni with Kaluga Caviar was simply outstanding. Sweet Japanese spiny lobster sashimi paired with creamy purple sea urchin and Kaluga caviar created a perfect harmony of texture, richness, and freshness. The Kegani Shabu-Shabu showcased hairy crab at its finest. Lightly cooked in a deeply umami crab roe broth, it preserved the natural sweetness of the crab while adding remarkable depth of flavour. Another highlight was the Nodoguro (Black Throat Sea Perch). Perfectly cooked with an airy, delicate texture, it released its rich fish oils with every bite and literally melted in the mouth. The service was equally impressive. With a high staff-to-guest ratio, every detail was attentively taken care of, and the sake pairing complemented the meal beautifully. A refined and memorable dining experience that truly showcases the elegance of Japanese kappo cuisine.

Top quality, innovative sushi. The kind of creativity that doesn’t feels forced. Perfect balance of finesse and authenticity. Tastefully executed. Will be back!

Having lived in Japan for 6 years, I am very particular about my sushi and I have no hesitation. In saying this is one of the nicest sushi restaurants that I've ever been to in my life. The service is outstanding and the food is brilliant. Everything is prepared with the utmost care and sourced from the finest areas. I had the lunch special and it took me about an hour and a half to savour my way through it. I will be thinking about this meal for a long time and highly recommend it.

One of the best omakase experiences in Singapore. Chef Hamamoto and the team delivered an exceptional meal from start to finish. Every piece of sushi was perfectly balanced, with incredibly fresh ingredients and impeccable craftsmanship. You can truly appreciate the attention to detail and the respect for each ingredient. The service was warm, attentive, and professional, creating a relaxed yet elegant dining experience. It never felt rushed, and every course was explained thoughtfully. Thank you, Chef Hamamoto and the entire team, for such a memorable evening. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Omakase Hamamoto to anyone looking for an authentic world-class Edomae sushi experience.

Amazing omakase experience with beautifully crafted sushi and seasonal dishes. Service was attentive and professional, and the intimate counter setting made it feel special. Highly recommend for a splurge meal, seats are tough to get , but worth it
