At $129 for a 10-course dinner, Kyuu by Shunsui in Keong Saik Road probably offers one of the more affordable omakase options in town. Open only for dinner, it also has an a la carte menu, but it’s available only after 9pm. If you have opted for omakase where every dish is

nanatsuboshi, which chef Issey Araki will cover with scoop after scoop of salmon roe, while his staff will keep chanting “yoisho”, which is more of a Japanese cheer, rather than a word with an exact meaning. And he doesn’t stop, till you say “enough”.
