Officially my fav sukiyaki spot now

If you’re a fan of Japanese cuisine, SukiyakiJIN at Shaw Centre is definitely worth a visit. What makes this spot stand out is their signature tomato sukiyaki broth, which strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and savoriness, giving the dish a unique flavour profile that’s unlike the traditional soy-based versions. The highlight is definitely their generous serving of premium Japanese A5 wagyu beef. The beautifully marbled meat is tender and buttery, which melts in your mouth. Paired with a combo of fresh vegetables—napa cabbage, Japanese leek, chrysanthemum greens, and varieties of mushrooms—the meal feels wholesome and satisfying. A great tip is to not finish all of the soup during your meal because SukiyakiJIN uses the leftover broth to cook your choice of either cheese risotto made with Hokkaido Yumepirika rice or udon noodles. This final course lets you savor the broth's deep umami flavors again in a whole new way. I personally enjoyed the risotto, as the rice soaked up all the deliciousness, making it a perfect comfort food ending. While the dessert, a simple scoop of ice cream, may not be the star, it’s a nice touch to cleanse the palate after the rich sukiyaki. The price point is on the higher end ($48++ per pax, minimum for two), but the quality and overall dining experience feel worth it for a special treat in Orchard. For those planning to visit, SukiyakiJIN is located on Level 1, Shaw Centre (1 Scotts Road). Reservations might be a good idea as the spot is gaining popularity quickly. Whether you’re a wagyu lover or someone looking to explore an elevated sukiyaki, SukiyakiJIN delivers on both taste and atmosphere, making it my favorite sukiyaki place in Singapore so far.
