Singapore’s Michelin-starred omakase counters are exceptional. Shoukouwa at One Fullerton holds two stars; Shinji by Kanesaka at The St Regis and Ginza Sushi Ichi at Orchard each hold one. If you are researching Michelin omakase in Singapore, you already know the names. What is harder to find is a sincere answer to a simple question: what exactly does each price tier buy — and where does the value sit?
At MIYU, we believe in exquisite omakase of the finest quality at the sincerest prices. That belief makes us comfortable putting the numbers side by side.
What Michelin-Tier Omakase Costs in Singapore (2026)
Based on the restaurants’ own published menus as of mid-2026: Shoukouwa’s dinner omakase runs from the 16-course Hana at $520 to the full En at $680 per person, with lunch from $380. Shinji by Kanesaka’s dinner ranges from $250 for Sushi Edomae to $480 for Omakase Shin, with chef’s specials from $550. Ginza Sushi Ichi’s lunch omakase starts around $280, with the chef’s signature dinner at about $500. All are before service charge and GST.
These prices are not unreasonable for what they are. Two-Michelin-star recognition, eight-seat counters, and decades-deep chef lineages command a premium. But it is worth understanding what is — and is not — different when you pay it.
What Is the Same at Every Serious Counter
The sourcing. Singapore’s top omakase counters — Michelin-starred or not — buy from the same place: Toyosu Market in Tokyo. Shoukouwa flies in seafood daily from Toyosu. So does Ginza Sushi Ichi. At MIYU, our ingredients are air-flown from Toyosu weekly, selected for peak shun — the moment an ingredient is at its seasonal best. The tuna does not know which restaurant it is going to.
The craft is also the same tradition. Edomae-zushi — careful seasoning of the shari, deliberate ageing of fish to develop umami, a progression of courses from light to rich — is a discipline, not a decoration. Executive Chef Ng Kam Kwan has practised it for over 22 years, including training at Hide Yamamoto and Kacyo.
What You Actually Pay More For
Three things, honestly stated. First, the plaque: Michelin recognition is real and hard-won, and some occasions call for it. Second, the setting: a Fullerton or St Regis address carries hotel-grade rent, and that rent is in your bill. Third, rarity theatre: the most expensive menus add courses built around trophy ingredients at their price peak.
What you are not paying more for, in most cases, is fresher fish or more attentive craft. That is why diners who have eaten widely often measure counters not by their stars but by the gap between quality and price.
The Dempsey Difference
MIYU sits at 13A Dempsey Road, in the garden enclave of Dempsey Hill — ten minutes from Orchard Road, a world away from a hotel lobby. Instead of marble and marble’s rent, there is greenery, quiet, and a counter where Chef Kwan works in front of you. Our lunch omakase begins at $128 and our dinner omakase at $228 — roughly a third of the Michelin-tier dinner spend, from the same market, in the same tradition.
Diners appear to agree: MIYU is rated 5.8/6 on Quandoo and 4.6/5 on Google. One guest wrote that similar quality elsewhere would cost at least $350. We would rather let the counter make that argument than make it too loudly ourselves — you can read more on our reviews and press page.
A Simple Way to Choose
If the occasion is about the name — an anniversary that calls for two stars, a client who will recognise Kanesaka — book the Michelin room and enjoy it fully. If the occasion is about the food — the season’s katsuo, properly aged tuna, shari seasoned the Edomae way — the honest question is whether the second and third hundred dollars per seat change what is on the hinoki in front of you.
We keep our prices sincere so that the answer can be no. Reserve a seat at the counter, or WhatsApp us at +65 8028 3168.
Frequently Asked Questions

Is expensive omakase always better?
