Taste Japan’s Seasonal Delights At Ganko Sushi Singapore

If your idea of the perfect meal includes meticulously crafted sushi, premium Japanese ingredients, and an intimate seat at the chef’s counter, Ganko Sushi Singapore just delivered your next dining destination. The Osaka-founded brand has introduced a new Monthly Omakase Menu and a lineup of Weekday Lunch Sets—bringing seasonal luxury and weekday accessibility together under one roof at its flagship at 9 Penang Road.

A Taste of Japan’s Four Seasons, One Course at a Time

Known for its deep respect for seasonality and traditional craftsmanship, Ganko’s Monthly Omakase Series ($98++ onwards) is a rotating 14-course menu that evolves with the freshest ingredients flown in thrice weekly from Japan. Each month offers a distinct flavour profile, reflecting Japan’s natural rhythms through rare sashimi, warm comfort dishes, and delicate desserts.

For diners seeking a touch more indulgence, there are two upgrade options:

• $110++: Includes two premium sushi selections.
• $140++: Adds two premium sushi, a premium dessert, and swaps out chawanmushi for dobinmushi (a traditional seafood broth steamed in a teapot).

The May Omakase Highlights include:

• Zensai: Scallop with Tomato Dashi Jelly – bright and umami-rich.
• Sashimi: Four kinds of expertly sliced seasonal fish.
• Steamed Dish: Chawanmushi with Salmon – a comforting bite of warmth.
• Tempura: Seasonal vegetables and fish served crispy with tartar sauce.
• Meat Course: Wagyu Beef with Young Potato and Onion Sauce.
• Sushi: Five kinds from the chef’s seasonal selection.
• Dessert: A sweet seasonal finale.

Midday Moments: Weekday Lunch Sets from $30++

Conveniently located near Dhoby Ghaut MRT, Ganko’s new weekday lunch sets are perfect for busy professionals who want a moment of indulgence without the formality of dinner service. Served from Monday to Friday, 11:30am–2:30pm, these sets are curated for value and variety.

Lunch Highlights Include:

• Unagi Don Set ($35++): Grilled eel glazed in savoury sauce over Japanese rice.
• Sashimi Tempura Set ($55++): A duo of fresh sashimi and crisp, golden tempura.
• Sushi Platter ($55++): A 10-piece seasonal sushi array.
• Premium Sushi Platter ($79++): 12 exquisite pieces including Bluefin Tuna, Hokkaido Jumbo Scallop and Striped Jack.

Crafted with Integrity, Led by a Master

At the helm is Head Chef Masaya Kurokawa, a Tokyo-trained chef with over 14 years of experience and the recipient of Japan’s Foreign Minister’s Award in 2023. A champion of tradition and technique, Chef Kurokawa’s approach to omakase is rooted in reverence for ingredients and understated excellence.

“This is a new chapter for me. I want diners in Singapore to feel the sincerity in every dish,” says Chef Kurokawa. “We bring in the finest produce from Japan and use techniques that respect the purity of each ingredient.” 

Details Matter: From Vinegar to Value

Ganko’s attention to detail extends to the rice, seasoned with Chidori Vinegar, brewed using a 200-year-old technique. This specific vinegar imparts a gentle acidity that enhances rather than overpowers, allowing the true flavour of the fish to shine. It’s this kind of subtlety that elevates Ganko’s offerings without inflating the price tag.
