Sushi at just $1.99, in this economy? No tricks, only treats – and we’re not talking about those pop-in, pop-out conveyor belt sushi chains either. Michelin-starred Japanese chef Hiroyuki Sato is bringing his casual restaurant Sushidan (寿志團) from Shibuya to Singapore, joining other Tokyo-born F&B brands, including Kikanbo and Nikuya Tanaka to add new flavour to our Japanese food scene.
Sushidan specialises in Edomae-style sushi, that is, a traditional style of sushi where preparation methods are rooted in enhancing the natural flavours of the seafood. During the Edo period, fresh fish was preserved by being salted and marinated in red vinegar; this characteristic of Edo sushi remains to this day.
At Sushidan Singapore, Chef Sato will leave things in the good hands of Chef Yusuke Kawana, a sushi master who has dedicated nearly three decades of his life to his culinary craft. The freshest marine fare will be flown in directly from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market, along with red vinegar from Kyoto and premium rice from Akita. Salmon from Norway will also be brought in daily.
Expect a la carte sushi from $1.99, handrolls stuffed with goodness from $3.99, and – it gets better – omakase sets from just $19.90. It’s as close as you can get to the real deal in Japan, sans the flight tickets.
Sushidan Singapore will open at Basement 1 of Raffles City Shopping Centre on December 17, 2025. Get the latest updates via @sushidan.sg on Instagram.
