I love LOVE Japanese food, but finding a decent sashimi place in Singapore will leave a huge hole in your pocket. Freshness doesn’t come cheap. Akashi’s sashimi may be a bit pricey, but everything else on the money is pretty reasonable. I would have definitely recommend this place, but I’m just unsure now that they have moved if they brought the same chefs over. And at which branch?

I first visited Akashi at Tanglin Shopping Centre with Dru last year but since then, they have relocated next door to Orchard Parade Hotel. So perhaps that’s the best outlet? Don’t take my word for it.

Otoro – Slice of heaven on a bed of cold cucumber sided with fresh wasabi and sprouts

Cha Soba top with sliced Nori (Seaweed) and Sesame Seed

My favourite: Dragon Roll – soft shell crab and avocado maki

Japanese salad with Horenso dressing (sesame)

Best dish: Teriyaki cod – cooked to perfection

Agedashi Tofu
