If there's one thing the Chope team strives to avoid when it comes to describing a restaurant, it's hollow superlatives. With that said, a meal at Sushi Mieda is nothing short of breathtaking. Though what's served will change depending on what's in season in Japan at the current moment, you can be rest assured that everything will be prepared with craft and precision, earning Sushi Mieda a place among the upper crust of the best sushi restaurants in Singapore.

For our meal, we were welcomed with a starter of sea urchin atop sesame tofu, covered in a bonito-broth jelly, and garnished with a touch of caviar and gold leaf. Describing the combination of flavours and textures as a symphony probably doesn't do it justice; the balance of saltiness from the bonito jelly and sweetness from the sea urchin and sesame tofu meant it was more a masterpiece than any 'mere' composition.

Course after course convinced us that we were dining in the presence of a master craftsman. Head Chef Keisuke Ohno treated us to a dazzling array of fish both expected and uncommon. For the less sushi-seasoned, opportunities to sample fishes like golden-eyed snapper and black-throat perch will open your mind to an ocean far beyond salmon, tuna, and flounder.

The setting for this culinary master class is equally authentic. Seats at the sushi counter of eight make for an intimate dining experience, its position at the centre of the floor just emphasizing the exclusivity, while sitting at the "outside" tables lining the interior of the tower provide for spectacular views of the surrounding area.

Quite frankly, any meal at Sushi Mieda lets you leave the trappings of Collyer Quay far behind. An effortlessly bona fide Japanese experience, don't be surprised if you stumble back out, sated and blissful, and find yourself disorientated by the realization that you aren't standing on a street in Ginza.
