Shinji (Bras Basah Road)

This sushi restaurant, under the aegis of Japanese chef Shinji Kanesaka, is located on the lobby level of the Carlton hotel. The entrance is typically discreet and leads into an intimate space with seating at the hinoki cypress counter for 16. Three set menus are offered – but the omakase is often the best route to take. The ingredients are good quality, with fish flown in from Tokyo’s Toyosu market. Reservations recommended.
