Slated to open officially in the public departure gallery of Changi Airport Terminal 3 on 22 September 2017, Premium Japan Farmers Market is a destination for top quality vegetables, fruits, meat products, processed food products, and sake exclusively imported from Japan! 

You will also get to experience an unparalleled bento experience presented by Japanese chefs of GOZEN, where you can look forward to creating your very own ready-to-eat bento box from a mouthwatering array of premium options, flown directly from Japan to ensure freshness and quality.

Some notable products you can look forward to is the plump and irresistibly sweet Kyoho grapes and Shine Muscat grapes; as well as top-notch Wagyu beef cuts such as Zennoh Wagyu, Hokkaido Snow Beef, Saga Gyu and Tochigi Wagyu.

Also tucked within the store is a brilliant bento box counter by GOZEN, where you will get to enjoy customisable and ready-to-eat bento boxes from a vast selection of fresh ingredients. Choices range from Wagyu and Kurobuta for the meat lovers to seafood offerings such as scallops and snow crab.

We are just puzzled by why Premium Japan Farmers Market chose to open at Changi Airport. After all, not everyone goes to the extreme East “for fun” and will casually step into the supermarket for some groceries shopping. Would you, though?

Fish Mart SAKURAYA is a Japanese supermarket-cum-eatery that has branches at Anchorpoint Shopping Centre, West Coast Plaza and Parkway Parade.

You can find all kinds of Japanese food-related items in their mart—ranging from fresh sashimi to Japanese snacks and frozen ingredients to buy home. The SAKURAYA dining area is further inside and that is where you can enjoy air-flown fish from Japan and a wide array of affordable Japanese mains.

Fans of Japanese sweets and confectionaries will be spoilt for choice with the sheer variety of snacks on offer. Those who are keen on doing some grocery shopping there can purchase fresh fish, sushi, sashimi, dairy products, beer and more!

Proceed to SAKURAYA Dining at the back of the supermarket to enjoy Japanese mains and side dishes. If you are there for the sashimi, choose your preferred fish over at the display chiller before heading to your table. Pair your meal with some sake or beer to complete the dining experience.

Now, the real reason why we came to Fish Mart SAKURAYA was for its Bara Chirashi Don which is going at only S$15! While it came in a generous portion and is very reasonably priced, we felt that the freshness of the sashimi has been slightly compromised.

It is not for the serious diners but those who are on a budget can still give this a try!

Not a fan of raw food? You have plenty of other choices too!

The unassuming Saba Shioyaki (S$7) gave us a pleasant surprise. While it looks skimpy on the outside, the savoury meat was juicy on every bite. We highly recommend this dish when you are dining there.

Other donburi choices include Salmon Don (S$12), Tekka Don (S$12) and Una Don (S$15).

Emporium Shokuhin has finally landed on our shores and this massive Japanese Megamart is set to dominate the Japanese supermarket industry in Singapore. It also includes eight different Japanese dining concepts within the gargantuan premises, as the store itself spans over 34,000 sq ft.

As the undying trend of Japanese produce gets stronger and stronger in Singapore, the opening of Emporium Shokuhin at Marina Square is certainly turning heads. It is said that the prices here at the megamart, will be slightly cheaper than the market price at other supermarkets.

As Singapore’s first integrated Japanese Emporium, we can only look forward to visiting this amazing concept at Marina Square

Emporium Shokuhin in Singapore consists of many sections and these include – a live seafood market, a beef dry-aging facility, a dedicated Japanese gourmet grocer and the 8 different dining concepts that range from a seafood wine bar to a Japanese bakery.

Produce here are flown in thrice weekly to ensure freshness. As Singaporeans become increasingly well-travelled and more knowledgeable about premium Japanese meats, produce and seafood, they will certainly appreciate everything this mega Emporium has to offer.

For all the foodies out there excited to know what they can try at the 8 F&B concepts, get really excited for a sushi bar that will be offering a dish called Giant Chirashi, which is an upsized take on the conventional portion. Another interesting concept is UMI + VINO, a seafood and wine pairing restaurant, where you get to enjoy them both in perfect harmony.

Also expect the most premium Wagyu beef, other premium seafood and interesting produce that you have never seen before here.
