Ginza Shinto Omakase Experience

Thanks to the kind folks at LUXE MONTRE SG, I was invited to dine at Ginza Shinto to experience its omakase which is widely reviewed by local media and social influencers.

Stepping into the restaurant reminds me of my trip to Kyoto as I cross the realm from the mundane to the extraordinary, immersing myself in the culinary experience.

My Shinto omakase experience began with a couple of light and refreshing appetizers, full of bite and flavor to arouse my senses for what is to come.

The explosive combination of uni and caviar followed in quick succession to seize your palate, leaving you wanting more.

With my senses awaken, fresh sashimi arrived to start the course proper. Edible flowers were served and warmed up with my hands to create a sweet floral fragrance which is paired with my soy sauce.

The prized delicacy, Kinki, arrived next to win over my heart with its crispy skin and soft delicate flesh. It was a masterpiece that fully showcased the mastery of the chef and the intricate flavors of the ingredient.

Accompanying the Kinki is Wakasagi, fried to perfection and paired with Japanese Shishito peppers which provided a nice contrast and fragrance.

Cleansing the palate is Chef Ron’s signature silky bean curd with Tarabagani and caviar. The dish is reminiscent of Ikebana (the Japanese art of flower arrangement) with its attention to detail and design.

Just when you thought that it could not get any better, fresh chewy Japanese abalone from Toyosu Market in Japan arrives, accompanied by the chef’s in-house specialty sauce, stewed daikon dusted with yuzu zest, and abalone liver. ⁣

Reaching the climax of the experience, the chef presents his medley of nigiri sushi, carefully arranged to tantalize your senses in linear progression. Favorites of the night include Flounder with salted kelp and a touch of truffle oil, Aburi Nodoguro, grilled Hotate with black truffles, and Aburi Amaebi.

As we approach the end of the meal, hot miso soup is served to warm you up followed by a gentle piece of melon. 

Overall, I enjoyed my Ginza Shinto omakase experience and I would recommend the restaurant for special occasions and celebrations. My only recommendation for the restaurant is to improve its music selection which might take the diners out of the fine dining experience at times.

Special thanks to LUXE MONTRE SG for the invite and Ginza Shinto for hosting a unique and memorable Japanese dining adventure.

I was going to bring my 100mm 2.8 macro & handheld LED to this dinner, but if I did I think I would have missed so many beautiful moments. Life doesn’t always go as planned but things tend to work out anyway. The first time I came here I had no idea what to expect, but I remember distinctly at the time I wanted to be right in the action. Kuro Dining is great, but the Kitchen is where you want to be. Who here prefers eating where the magic happens? 🙌🏼 Happy 1st Birthday @kurosydney! 🥳 Thank you @taka_teramoto and @chefblackjacket and Wanaka for being such wonderful hosts. Also @mitchell_fumiaki for your 6 glasses of homemade cola. Special mention @ken_tamagoochi. #japanesefood #japanfood #japanculture #japanesefoods #japanesefoodlover #japanesefoodporn #japanesefusion #japanesecuisine #japancuisine #japanesefoodie #japanesefoodlovers #kurosydney #japanculinary #japanesecooking #finedining #finedininglovers #finediningsydney #finedininggram #japanesefinedining #japaneserestaurant #sydneyeats #sydneyfood #sydneyfoodie #sydneyaustralia #sydneyfoodblogger #sydneyfoodblog #sydneyfoodphotographer #sydneyfoodphotography #sydneyfoodbloggers #sydneyfoodshare (at Kuro Bar & Dining) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHNEAePlLW1/?igshid=1f7ud9p7lgtp6

The Tiny Trekkers were really fortunate this trip - we were treated to dinner at Yuzuya Ryokan hotel. The dining experience was themed with Yuzu, a kind of highly fragrant citrus. The first fish came wrapped in white paper, with a golden thread around it. Each course was presented by a young waiter who was delightful and answered all of our questions. The scent of the yuzu stayed on our hands for ages and was lovely! #yuzuya #yuzu #japanesefinedining #experiencedining

Don’t forget to top it off with a good cocktail, some of them come with some awesome theatrics. #finedining #finedininglovers #finediningathome #finediningram #finediningrestaurant #finediningchefs #japanesefood #japanesefusion #japaneseculture #japanesecuisine #japanesestyle #japanesefoods #japanesefinedining #japanesefoodporn #japanesefoodlover #japanfood #japanculture #japanculture #sydneyeats #sydneyfoodie #sydneyfood #sydneyfoodphotography #sydneyfoodphotographer #sydneyfoodporn #kurosydney #sydney_insta #sydneylocal #sydneyrestaurant #sydneyrestaurants #sydneyaustralia (at Kuro Bar & Dining) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEaQJp4FYbr/?igshid=jwm4otbbwbuj
