Shoukouwa is Singapore's original two-star sushiya — an eight-seat Edomae counter at One Fullerton on the Marina Bay waterfront, where the chef leads a seasonal omakase built around fish flown from Tokyo's Toyosu Market.
Signature dishes
- Signature toro maki — a tuna handroll of chutoro and otoro with negi, pickled daikon, shiso and nori
- Nodoguro (blackthroat sea perch)
- Sake-braised abalone with liver and uni sauce
- Kasugo (kombu-cured baby sea bream)
- Echizen snow crab with crab-roe sauce
The omakase changes with the season and the day's market, so any given dish may not be running when you visit.
The concept
A fine-dining sushi-ya in the Edomae tradition, served as a chef's-choice omakase that alternates appetisers with nigiri. Seafood is bought at seasonal peak and flown in from Toyosu four times a week, and the meal is worked through course by course at the counter.
The chef
Head chef Kazumine Nishida, a Japanese itamae with more than twenty years behind the counter, moved to Singapore in 2018 and took over as head chef in October 2019. The restaurant is part of chef-owner Emmanuel Stroobant's Food Inc group, sister to two-star Saint Pierre next door.
Getting there
#02-02A, One Fullerton, 1 Fullerton Road, on the Marina Bay waterfront near Merlion Park. Nearest MRT is Raffles Place, about a five-minute walk.
Prices
Top tier. The Miyabi lunch omakase starts from S$380++, Hana runs S$520++ (16 courses, lunch or dinner), and the En dinner omakase is S$680++ with extra chef's specials. Sake pairing is available. "++" is before service charge and GST.
How to book
Reserve by phone on +65 6423 9939 or email [email protected]; parties of six or more must go through phone or email. A credit-card guarantee is required. With only eight counter seats, book six to eight weeks ahead. Cancellations or no-shows within three days are charged S$350 (lunch) or S$500 (dinner) per guest. Raw fish is central, so there is no vegetarian or gluten-free option.
Opening hours
Lunch Wednesday to Saturday 12:30–3pm; dinner Tuesday to Saturday in two sittings, 6–8pm and 8:15–10:30pm. Closed Sunday and Monday, and it follows Toyosu market closures plus extra 2026 blackout dates, so reconfirm.
The room & dress
A restrained, intimate room: an eight-seat hinoki-cypress counter plus a six-seat private room, dressed with Echizen lacquerware and Mino-yaki pottery. Quiet and formal. There is no official dress code, but dress smart and skip beachwear, shorts and flip-flops.
A little history
Opened in 2016 by Emmanuel Stroobant, Shoukouwa earned two stars within about four months — Singapore's first two-star sushiya. It has held two stars every year since, a ten-year run to its tenth anniversary in 2026.
Who it’s for
For serious sushi enthusiasts, milestone celebrations, solo counter diners and anyone after a high-end splurge — Japanese sushi at a level rarely found outside Japan, in the heart of the city. Not for vegetarians, gluten-free diners, quick or cheap meals, or large groups.
