IYASAKA by Hashida
Chef Kenjiro Hashida's Sentosa omakase counter mixing Japanese tradition with contemporary touches.
IYASAKA by Hashida is chef Kenjiro 'Hatch' Hashida's current Singapore restaurant, now located at Raffles Sentosa Singapore. It is not a pure sushi-only counter, but it belongs in this ranking because its omakase is built around premium seasonal Japanese ingredients, counter seating and a chef-led format that sushi diners appreciate. The restaurant presents traditional Japanese dishes with contemporary touches, and its menus change with produce availability. With only chef's counter seats, the experience is intimate and highly controlled. It is best for diners who want Japanese omakase with more variety than a strict nigiri-focused meal.
IYASAKA by Hashida is the most expressive entry here. Chef Hatch's food has personality, and the Sentosa setting gives the meal a different rhythm from city sushi counters. It is especially good for diners who like Japanese technique but want more than a linear nigiri progression. The honest trade-off is that sushi purists may find it too broad for a sushi-specific craving. Treat it as a Japanese omakase with strong seafood credentials, not as a replacement for Shoukouwa or Shinji.
It was included for chef Hashida's reputation, premium seasonal Japanese sourcing and intimate counter format, while offering a more creative alternative to strict Edomae sushi menus.
