Renowned Japanese chef Hal Yamashita will open his first restaurant outside of Japan in Singapore by the end of the month.
Located at the Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), the 53-seater Syun ("spring" in Japanese) will combine quality produce from Chef Yamashita's hometown of Kobe with his taste for nouvelle cuisine, resulting in signature dishes such as sea urchin and Kuroge wagyu beef roll topped with caviar, and grilled gindara (cod) saikyo marinated in premium miso.
Chef Yamashita runs eponymous restaurants in Osaka and Tokyo and has represented the country twice in the World Gourmet Series, where he was named World Best Chef in 2010.
Of Syun, the 44-year-old says he's excited to share his take on modern Japanese fare with a different audience in the region. "Singapore is a melting pot of various cuisines and I have noticed that diners here are well-travelled and have a more adventurous palate. I'm confident that they will embrace what Syun has to offer," he said in a statement by RWS.
