Fusion Japanese and Sake galore is what Bōruto delivers. Located a stone’s throw away from the CBD and styled as a modern day Izakaya, the double-storey, industrial chic establishment is helmed by Chef Patrick Tan, owner of Japanese robatayaki restaurant Tamashii Robataya.

The first floor of Bōruto offer foodies a casual dining experience by dispensing out a plethora of shareable dishes from their Italian-Japanese menu like Hotate & Kanpachi Carpaccio, thinly sliced Hokkaido Scallops & Amberjack, and Risotto Croquettes, delicious stuffed potato croquettes with Tomato Risotto. Translating into “Vault” in Japanese, the name Bōruto is a nod to the bank that operated in the same premises and the original bank vault, still functional, sits on the second floor and now securely showcasing the most premium bottles of Sake available. Here, Sake Connoisseurs can enjoy the novelty of walking into the Vault, selecting from a range of up to 30 of the most high-end Sakes available and enjoy a more exclusive experience! (Jan 2019)

The buzz

“Tamashii Robataya have just opened Boruto across the street - a chic but unassuming sake/tapas bar with a welcoming vibe and a food menu that shows more thought than just how many things one can deep fry and over-salt to make people drink more.” -The Business Times "Dimly-lit and furnished with h ...More

“Tamashii Robataya have just opened Boruto across the street - a chic but unassuming sake/tapas bar with a welcoming vibe and a food menu that shows more thought than just how many things one can deep fry and over-salt to make people drink more.” -The Business Times

"Dimly-lit and furnished with huge sake barrels from floor to ceiling, Boruto reminded us of Tokyo’s upper-class tachinomi (standing) bars, except there are seats here, of course. Founded by Patrick Tan, owner of one of the best robatayaki restaurants in Singapore, Tamashii Robataya, this new sake bar has already garnered a steady following, most of whom are Japanese expats." -Honeycombers

"You’d expect a bar in the middle of a karaoke strip to be all fried chicken and spam fries. But away from the buzz of Circular Road, along the sedate walkways of South Bridge Road, an art-gallery-turned-sake-bar called Boruto has opened with a menu of inventive Asian-inspired tapas that is an outright rebellion to the notion of bar food." -City Nomads

"Known as vault in Japanese, Boruto does not just boast about a comprehensive menu of exciting Japanese tapas, it has over 80 different sake brands, 50 of which are exclusively stocked here, including a woozy range of high-quality junmai daiginjo and daishiki." -Asia Style Asia
