You might be forgiven for thinking that you’ve been transported to an intimate restaurant in one of Tokyo’s back alleys. Nestled cosily in the trendy yet historic corner of Stanley Street is Shukuu Izakaya, a trendy hotspot featuring a bevy of eclectic small plates that will tickle taste buds. The intimate space features iconic red lanterns and a traditional Japanese mural to create a chic vibe that makes the experience so authentic. Whether you’re looking for an eatery with friends or just a quiet, solitary dinner after work, the superb yet reasonably-priced fare gives you the perfect reason to let your hair down.

Staying true to their conviction of serving only high quality food, ingredients are sourced from leading Japanese suppliers and air-flown in fresh from Japan. The dishes here remains true to its Japanese roots while tinkling with Western influences. The Kani Gratin, or crab gratin with mentaiko, and the Rosti Mentai, where swiss-style potato shreds are drizzled with a decadent mentaiko sauce, serve as fine testaments. Shukuu Izakaya’s specialty, Kushiyaki, or charcoal-grilled skewered meat, is a must-try as well. The Omi Wagyu as well as the Kurobuta Tontoro are your best bets. For the more adventurous, the Yaki Gyu Tan, where premium beef tongue is grilled to tender perfection is sure to please as well.

The dishes here taste best when paired with sake, so choose your partner in crime from their extensive range of sakes or ask for a recommendation, and voilà, the meal’s perfect! (Feb 2017)

The buzz

“Sake recommendations are dependent on the food ordered: Sakemire Jumai Ginjyo is paired with sashimi, Noguchi Honjozo Nama with char-grilled dishes and Tenzan Jizake Jumai with fried snacks.” -Time Out Singapore
