This restaurant, one of the trailblazers for Japanese cuisine in the city, has embarked on a new path by reinventing both its dining space and its cuisine, with the latter continuing to showcase the essence of Japanese cooking but from a more contemporary perspective. Shinkai, which means “deep sea” in Japanese, highlights a plethora of flavours though its varied and extensive array of maki, temaki, sashimi, tempura and Wagyu beef sourced directly from Japan (if you fancy a more immersive experience, where you can watch the chefs at work up close, it's a good idea to sit at the bar). It also offers a tasting menu that needs to be booked a minimum of 24hr ahead.
