A
Izakaya Nijumaru
Modelled on the Japanese izakaya (drinking restaurant), the emphasis here is as much on boozing as it is eating – and the Japanese businessmen who come here like their booze. Sit down, order some sake and endless rounds of skewered meat, and kiss the evening goodbye. Cuppage Plaza is extremely popular with expatriate Japanese, so don’t be surprised to find yourself in a minority of one.

Hilltop Japanese Restaurant
If you’ve spent the day at the Jurong Bird Park, make a night of it and head up the hill to Hilltop Japanese Restaurant, an unusual restaurant. Boasting a perhaps unique Japanese-Indonesian menu, its location inside the observation tower is pretty memorable too. Climb the tower after dinner for a great view over the industrial sprawl.

C
Bon Goût
This eccentric place (not to be misread as ‘Bong Out’) is weird enough to be straight out of Tokyo. It’s a second-hand bookshop/CD store/restaurant full of students and literati, reading, laughing and slurping ramen (noodlesoups), Japanese curries and Tiger beer (sometimes all at once).

D
Nogawa
This is not the place for a mid-shopping-trip light lunch, because you’re liable to keep ordering once you get going on the sushi here. Plonk yourself at the counter for a chefside view. At $35, the set lunches are a good deal, considering the quality of the food.

Sakana
Sakana is one of those great little informal eateries you so rarely find outside Japan - super-compact and uncomplicated with tiny screened booths, calligraphic art and rattling racks of sake bottles. Try the set lunch for S$15.

F
Akashi
Sandwiched midway between the basement and the footpath, Akashi's blonde wood and purple suede interior sets the scene for elegant Japanese dining. Firm sushi, crunchy tempura, sticky teriyaki - reliably delicious.
