Furthermore, on some history, Tomi Sushi originated from Joetsu City in Niigata Prefecture. Their history that spans six decades. It all started with the establishment of their main outlet, the “Takada Branch”, back in 1954. Also, the restaurant takes pride specialising around the key elements of fish, rice, and culinary expertise. This rich history has shaped the present-day Tomi Sushi, which now brings its unwavering passion to Singapore.
Also, the establishment has since expanded to several locations in Japan and other countries. This includes Singapore, where it opened its first outlet in 2010. Over time, Tomi Sushi has grown significantly and currently operates three branches in Singapore, in Novena, Katong and here at Millenia Walk. Each branch offers a slightly different dining experience, with its unique menu and decor.
Try their set meals
Moreover, in typical Japanese fanfare, meals are delightfully offered as sets. Options include their Osusume Lunch ($45), a well as their Gindara set ($28). Also, if you crave noodle dishes, their Nabeyaki Udon ($18), Yosenabe ($15) and Soba set ($30) are worth considering.
Moreover, Tomi Sushi offers a menu for singles or as a group. For sharing, I would recommend their Sushi Platter ($40-$50). A great choice when you need to “catch them all” looking to sample a variety of sushi, and undecided on sushi choices. It includes a selection of nigiri sushi and maki rolls, all made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Also, separately, the Salmon Belly Sashimi ($15- $25), is a dish of fatty salmon belly slices. They are known for its rich, buttery flavor. It’s a popular choice among sushi lovers.
Additionally, sides includes their Soft shell crab ($12) as a nice side dish to go with your soupy meal. The crab is fried well, crispy which you can eat the shell in-entirely. Also, Tomi’s Chawanmushi ($10-$15) is a delightful take on the traditional Japanese staple. It comprises of a type of savoury egg custard, often served as an appetizer. However, Tomi Sushi’s version includes shrimp and mushrooms, making it a flavorful and filling starter.
Premium dishes
Moreover, if you desire something more premium, their lower grade Wagyu is a consideration. Options include their Wagyu Beef rice Don set (priced $28-$38). It is a dish for those who love beef. It is served with tender, flavorful beef is served over a bed of rice, with a side of miso soup. Though the wagyu beef is not as fine in quality as the one we tired at Rubicon steak house in Thomson, but is more affordable here.
In addition, their Grilled Eel ($28-$38), or unagi, is a classic Japanese dish that is often served over rice. Tomi Sushi’s take on the grilled unagi is prepared with a sweet and savoury sauce, making it tender and flavourful.
Price-wise, Tomi Sushi is priced on the higher end of the spectrum, with most dishes costing between $20-$50. However, the use of premium and quality ingredients, coupled with good attentive service make it worthy the price to pay for.
