Hana Japanese Restaurant, known for cheap omakase-style sets, launches unfixed 12-plate tasting menus

Hana Japanese Restaurant located at Forum The Shopping Mall is renowned for serving up wallet-friendly omakase-style sets. Although it’s a cool concept, some diners may lament the time commitment. To address this issue, the establishment has launched a couple of 12-plate tasting sets priced at S$38++ and S$68++ on 11 Sep 2023.

Unlike the customary course-by-course omakase experience typically offered here, the 12-plate tasting sets are served all at once. This streamlined approach ensures that diners enjoy a diverse array of dishes without spending too much time; a perfect solution for office workers who have a limited lunch break.

These 12-plate tasting sets arrive in an aesthetically-pleasing rectangular wooden tray. They remind me of the floating breakfast spreads that you can find in pool villas in Bali, which often make waves across social media.

11 affordable omakase sets from $38 that won’t break the bank

Both options will undeniably highlight the crème de la crème of Hana Japanese Restaurant’s menu, but what truly sets them apart is the quality of their ingredients.

One of their signature items is the Over The Top Maki, which is quintessentially 4 pieces of maki sushi rolls with varying fillings like avocado, egg or cucumber. They are then topped with salmon sashimi cubes and tobiko (or whatever is available for the day).

The other 11 small tasting plates will be a mish-mash of courses consisting of sashimi, seafood, little sushi balls, grilled dishes and fried items. Expect more premium dishes like half mentaiko lobster, grilled prawns, salmon carpaccio and unagi for the S$68++ option.

Of course, different dishes are served everyday. So Simply sit back, relax and entrust your culinary journey to the skilled hands of the chefs.

Both these unfixed 12-plate tasting sets are currently available till further notice, so do drop by to check it out.

Reservations are required. Call them at +65 6737 5525 or message them on their socials to secure a table.
