Located in International Plaza, Sushi Muni is a new omakase restaurant led by Head Chef Chon, who has over 20 years of expertise in Japanese fine dining.
Despite being a recent opening, it’s already fully booked thanks to its refined take on traditional Edomae sushi and emphasis on quality.
Here’s what to expect from the full omakase experience.
Intimate and Comfortable Interior
With only 10 seats, Sushi Muni offers an intimate dining experience that feels exclusive without being cramped.
You will sit at the omakase bar, where you can watch the chefs prepare each dish up close.
The atmosphere is comfortable, relaxed, and elevated by the friendly, engaging chefs, making the meal both interactive and enjoyable!
Sushi Muni Menu
Sushi Muni offers 3 different omakase menus ranging from $98-$198.
You can choose from Sushi Omakase ($98), which includes 11 types of sushi and 6 accompanying dishes, ideal for sushi lovers.
The classic Omakase ($98) is 14-courses, featuring a mix of sashimi, sushi, and wagyu, offering a more diverse tasting for those who want a bit of everything!
We had the Muni Omakase ($198), which is the most premium option, offering an extended and elevated selection of seasonal dishes.
All menus are crafted based on the freshest seasonal ingredients available, so no two visits will be exactly the same.
Appetizers
We started off with 3 appetizer courses.
This trio of light bites included amberjack with pickled radish, lean tuna with chive on a beetroot cracker, and a wagyu beef croquette wrapped in cracker rice puff and fried seaweed.
Each bite was refreshing and meticulously crafted, with a perfect balance of flavour. It was clear from this first course that we were in for an exceptional evening.
Next was a seasonal course. It featured Hokkaido hairy crab paired with Okinawa spinach, coated with jelly made from spinach stock and topped off with diced apples.
The crab was fresh and delicate, while the apples added a refreshing crunch and light sweetness that lifted the entire dish.
The third appetiser was a Botan ebi (sweet prawn) complemented with orange, tomato and junsai (water lily), finished with a drizzle of tosazu vinegar.
This brought a brighter, slightly acidic lift that was refreshing and cleansed our palate for the courses to follow.
Sashimi
The first sashimi course featured Flounder Engawa, lightly aburi-ed to enhance its umami and texture.
The result was a melt-in-the-mouth texture with a subtle smokiness.
The next course featured aburi saba – lightly torched mackerel – paired with negi (Japanese green onion) marinated in soy sauce.
The fattiness of the saba was balanced by the savoury-sweet notes of the soy-marinated negi, adding brightness and crunch.
This Muni-style chutoro (medium fatty tuna) was served with nanka imo (Japanese yam), nori-infused soy sauce, and dusting of dried fish roe.
The chutoro was buttery and rich, and surprisingly complemented by the earthy creaminess of the yam.
Seasonal Cooked Dish
This seasonal fried dish featured tempura Tai (sea bream) alongside creamy shirako (fish milt) and tender young corn.
It’s lightly battered and fried, offering an interesting texture when you bite into the creamy shirako.
Wagyu Sukishabu
This Wagyu sukiyaki was cooked in front of us and served with a silky onsen egg and a crispy fried sushi rice base. The marbled beef was tender and flavourful, while the onsen egg added richness and creaminess.
Paired with the crunchy rice, it was a comforting dish!
Kuzu Somen
This dish features arrowroot starch somen noodles which we found a little hard, but the briny ikura and fresh uni made up for it.
Sushi
The sushi course at Sushi Muni featured six different types, all thoughtfully selected based on what’s in season.
You’ll get cuts like Otoro, Akaebi, Uni, and Kimedai Golden Eye Snapper.
The sushi was fresh and expertly prepared in front of us. Of these cuts, our favourite was the Akaebi and Otoro, they were so fresh and melted in our mouths.
Our favourite was this Muni house roll, with 3 types of tuna, quail egg yolk, sisho leaf, and sushi rice cracker.
It was a bold, flavour-packed bite, and the quail egg yolk added a rich creaminess that tied everything together.
Dessert
We ended off the night with a matcha pudding topped with fresh sakura cherry and mango! This was equal parts creamy, sweet and refreshing, especially with the chewy corn shiratama dango.
Omakase in Tanjong Pagar
This was genuinely one of our favourite meals, we thoroughly enjoyed both the food and the experience. If you’re looking for a premium, intimate omakase in the CBD, Sushi Muni is definitely one to add to your list!
