Located in the heart of Orchard Road at Shaw Centre, Unagi Yondaime Kikukawa Singapore brings a slice of authentic Japanese culinary tradition to the city-state. This Michelin-selected unagi specialist is the first Singapore outpost of a revered eel-grilling brand from Nagoya, with over 90 years of expertise in expertly preparing unagi, or grilled eel.
The restaurant honours its heritage with a simple yet refined menu focused on premium eel dishes. Signature offerings include the Kabayaki Ippon Unagi Set, where a whole fillet of eel is grilled over traditional binchotan charcoal and glazed with a rich, savoury-sweet tare sauce, and the Ippon Hitsumabushi Set, which invites diners to enjoy their eel three ways: as it is, with condiments, and finally with warm dashi broth poured over rice for a comforting ochazuke finish.
Dining here is as much about the experience as the food itself. The warm, minimalist interior and open kitchen let diners watch skilled chefs at work, bringing theatre to every meal. The focus on quality is clear, from the carefully sourced live eel to the attentive service and well-crafted sides like eel liver soup and grilled eel omelette.
Whether you’re a fan of traditional Japanese cuisine or eager to explore unagi done well, Unagi Yondaime Kikukawa offers a memorable and distinct dining experience in Singapore’s competitive food scene.
