Sukuraya serves the best rice!

[Relacklabrudder]

I know they famous for their fresh sashimi, but mire than the sashimi, I was blown away by their quality of rice, totally yummy, so good I finish off 3 bowls ! Just dab bit if soya sauce on it with their sashimi, fragrant , warm , smooth . Been to many jap restaurant ichiban boshi, sushi tei etc and some high end ones but none match sukuraya for their rice. Highly rec for sashimi lovers who just wan sashimi with their rice !

At $3 per bowl of sushi rice, it'll better be good!

[SimonTan]

Plain rice?

Or fried rice?

i think one thing you have to look for,

if you insist that quality of rice or fish is impt,

 

 

is if there are any japanese sitting around you.

 

tbh,

the both restaurant you have mentioned is really average taste nia

 

 

 

have not tried this sukuraya yet.

where is it?

It's expensive Jap food, but good quality. All their sashimi are guaranteed fresh and good. rice should be the good quality one too.

 

Once you eat this, u wont like the rest of "mass market" jap outlets. LOL. But question is how deep is your pocket to keep going back to Sukuraya?

 

So you pay for quality.

 

There's one at West Coast Mall (ex Ginza Plaza)

 

Dont know about other branches.

 

I only eat at West Coast Mall so far.

Another one at Parkway Parade. Basement One, Cold Storage end. Smaller place.

 

They have another store at Anchor Point but not called Sakuraya. Never been there before.

[Sk65]

Should try the scallops, $8 or $10 for two. Near year end (Winter) they have oyster (in packet, very nice) and monk fish liver.

 

One thing about Sakuraya Fish Mart, you can consume whatever things you pick up from the supermarket section at the restaurant and pay for it after your meal like Furikake etc.

[Yeshe]

They have 1 outlet in Novena sq 2 also

[Sk65]

seemed like good reviews from more than a few bros here.

 

shall go try

actually when comes to compare rice

you have to have a level playing field

 

testing plain rice

 

otherwise not fair

why

 

then why not compare sushi rice (with sauce and vinegar added) and fried rice or chicken rice or bryani rice

japanese rice are never plain

they often add something inside

 

also sometimes the water they use also

like plain water or mineral water

also the style of cooking may affect the taste

 

in japan you can buy a small rice cooker that cooks like japanese rice fro about SG$1000

 

that's where the flavour and taste comes from
