[2025 Singapore Restaurant] Travel Guide for ku-kai izakaya (Updated Apr)

My visit to Ku Kai Izakaya was a flavorful dive into the heart of Japanese comfort food, served with a side of sustainability. The atmosphere was warm and inviting—lively chatter, the scent of grilled skewers in the air, and dishes arriving one after another, each more satisfying than the last. I started with their yakitori, grilled to perfection over charcoal, showcasing quality cuts with minimal seasoning—letting the natural flavors shine. The sushi roll was a fresh, balanced bite, crafted with responsibly sourced seafood and seasonal produce. And the fried rice? Pure comfort, packed with umami and cleverly using leftover cuts and vegetables to reduce waste without skimping on taste. What stood out beyond the flavors was Ku Kai’s quiet commitment to sustainable dining. From using every part of the ingredient to supporting local suppliers and reducing single-use items, they’re proving that casual dining can still be conscious. Izakayas are all about sharing good food and good times—and at Ku Kai, it felt even better knowing those good times are kind to the planet too. #earthdayjourney #KuKaiIzakaya #IzakayaVibes #SustainableDining #YakitoriLove #SushiGoals #FriedRiceFix #ConsciousCuisine #FoodieFinds #ZeroWasteKitchen #EatWithPurpose #JapaneseComfortFood #FoodBloggerLife #MindfulMeals #EcoDining #TasteWithCare

#favouriteitinerary #travelanywhere One of our favorite evening date spots in Singapore is Ku Kai Izakaya at SAF Yacht Club in Admiralty. This hidden gem in the northern part of the island exudes a charming Japanese allure, complete with a striking red torii gate and a peaceful waterfront setting. With Malaysia visible just across the sea, the view is both mesmerizing and serene, offering a quiet retreat from the city’s bustle. We always choose a table as close to the water as possible, letting the gentle sea breeze set the mood as we indulge in a delightful spread. The izakaya-style menu features an array of Japanese comfort food, and we enjoyed crispy fried chicken, warm and satisfying onigiri and okonomiyaki, as well as rich, velvety mentaiko cream crab served in its shell, all complemented by an ice-cold drink. Though the restaurant is reachable by public transport, it does require a bit of a walk from the nearest bus stop, so driving is the more convenient option. Whether for a romantic night out, a laid-back date, or a special celebration, this picturesque hideaway offers an atmosphere that feels both intimate and enchanting. #singaporetrip #couplestrip #thingstodo #seascapes #myitinerary

Place: Ku-kai izakaya Address: 43 Admiralty Rd W, Singapore 759962 Nested along the north coast next to the SAF yacht club gides a beautiful seaside outdoor izakaya with amazing food. We had a wise array of menu to share from their sashimi, to yaki soba, Japanese pork katsu curry and more. We also tried their alcoholic drinks from highball and sweet sake. We even saw otters along the beach! Lovely space to spend the evening. #izakaya #sgizakaya #japanesecuisine #japanesefood
