The concept
An eponymous omakase built on highly controlled, seasonal Japanese sushi craft, with the meal played out at the counter — temperature, timing and the condition of each fish all judged in front of you. The menu changes with the season and the market.
The chef
Chef-owner Yoshio Sakuta started at eighteen and worked the counter at two-star Shoukouwa before opening his own room. He is joined by chef Shunsuke Yoshizawa, with 22 years of experience, and an all-Japanese kitchen; head sommelier Iwabuchi Makoto, a MICHELIN Sommelier Award winner in 2023, runs the sake and wine.
Getting there
#01-06/07/08, Millenia Walk, 9 Raffles Boulevard, in Marina Centre — relocated from the old Capitol Kempinski address on Stamford Road. Nearest MRT is Promenade (Circle and Downtown lines), about four minutes on foot via Exit A.
Prices
Lunch is S$350++ (three appetisers, eight sushi, soup, dessert) with a larger S$580++ lunch, and the dinner omakase is S$580++. The Sakuta-Shima dinner is S$650++, a collaboration serving tempura from neighbouring Tenshima. Beverages and pairings are extra. "++" is before service charge and GST.
How to book
Advance booking is required, via TableCheck, WhatsApp +65 9863 9302 or [email protected]. There is no fixed lead time, but with a ten-seat counter book as early as you can, especially Friday to Sunday. Cancellations within 72 hours or no-shows are charged S$500 per person; the private room carries a S$5,000 minimum spend.
Opening hours
Lunch from 12:30pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (last seating 1:00pm); dinner from 7:00pm Tuesday to Sunday (last seating 7:30pm). Closed Mondays, with no Thursday lunch.
The room & dress
Intimate, minimalist and elegant: a ten-seat counter cut from a 200-year-old Nara cypress, a private room for up to six, Japanese art and soft, moonlight-like lighting. No published dress code — dress smart. Heavy perfume is a stated no; the restaurant may refuse entry.
A little history
Sushi Sakuta opened on 1 June 2022, earned its first star in 2023, and was promoted to two stars in 2025 — the only promotion that year. It has since relocated from Capitol Kempinski to Millenia Walk and retained two stars in 2026.
Who it’s for
For serious sushi enthusiasts, special occasions and solo counter diners after focused Japanese fine dining. The Promenade MRT location pairs easily with Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay and the National Gallery. Not for low budgets, a broad menu, walk-ins or anyone unwilling to plan ahead.
