From the folks that brought you Hokkaido Manpei in Central Mall comes this dinner-only restaurant along the Mohammed Sultan stretch. This is one of only three restaurants in Singapore that offers motsunabe, a richer version of the beloved Japanese hotpot made with miso and offal. Another key ingredient in their dishes is beef intestines, which is incorporated into several of their small plate offerings, as well as several main dishes. The soft innards are cooked in a broth to bring out their flavour and collagen, and is said to be perfect for women looking to improve their complexion.

Seafood lovers won’t be missing out either since Motsunabe will be dishing out creations like the Stir-Fried Squid with Salted Fish. This dish is a briny combination of tender fish meat and firm squid tentacles stir fried in a savoury sauce. Perfect with steamed rice or even on its own, this is one dish that showcases the best of the treasures of the sea. The Hakata-Style Sesame Mackerel is another delicious dish featuring soft fish flesh bathed in thick, earthy sesame sauce.

With a fun environment, variety of dishes and a communal dining feel, this is the perfect place to unwind on weekends with family and friends without missing any of the action of the city. (Jun 2018)
