New S$19.90 sushi sets and one-for-one maki rolls from S$6.90 at Sushidan

Quality Japanese fare in Singapore can often come with a hefty price tag, but Sushidan is proving that it doesn’t have to. 

The Tokyo-born brand opened its first Singapore outlet late last year, serving affordable set meals starting from just S$19.90.

Now, Sushidan is upping its game with the launch of new value-for-money sets, alongside even better-value weekday specials.

What’s new at Sushidan

One of the new additions is the Jiyu omakase set (S$34.90), which includes seven sushi pieces, alongside seasonal chawanmushi, the chef’s choice of appetiser, a mini udon, a negitoro handroll, and a bowl of miso soup. 

For the sushi, you have a choice of seven from a selection of 22 varieties.

Among them are classics such as salmon and hamachi, alongside kohada (gizzard shad), shime saba (cured mackerel), hotate (scallop), tako (octopus), and a range of aburi (lightly flame-seared) sushi.

Of these, my favourites had to be the aburi engawa (flame-seared flounder fin) for its rich, buttery texture that practically melted in my mouth, the baby ika (squid) for its tender bite, and the akaebi for its creamy texture and delicate sweetness.

The negitoro handroll, filled with minced fatty tuna, was a highlight — it was generously packed with sushi rice, creamy negitoro, chopped spring onions, and fish roe, making for a satisfying bite.

The chef’s choice appetiser rotates between two options — a small portion of chirashi or marinated jellyfish. Of the two, I preferred the jellyfish for its pleasantly chewy texture and subtle savoury flavour.

If you’d rather leave your meal in the chef’s expert hands, there’s also the Goshoku set (S$19.90), which comes with five pieces of chef’s choice aburi (torched) sushi — including akami (lean tuna) — and the same side dishes. 

For a little more variety, the Nanairo set (S$29.90) includes seven pieces of chef’s choice sushi and the same accompaniments, with the addition of chutoro (medium fatty tuna) — something that isn’t available in the Jiyu set. 

Seasonal weekday deals

From 3pm to 6pm, there are weekday off-peak specials available, including a one-for-one maki sushi promotion on selected signature rolls (U.P. from S$13.80). Choices include the Iro roll with salmon and tuna, the crispy ebi Zen roll with spicy mayo, and more.

Another highlight is the Toro Zanmai set (S$6.90, U.P. S$12.80), featuring premium negitoro in three different styles: toro-tobikko-shoyu (with roe), torotaku (with daikon), and negitoro,  served with crisp premium nori. At almost half its usual price, it’s an easy recommendation for tuna lovers. 

While there’s no confirmed end date for the promotion just yet, it’s only available for a limited time!

This was a hosted tasting.
