Singapore Japanese Smorgasbord

Can the world’s best airport get any better? Yes, it can. Passengers at Singapore’s Changi Airport can now get a true Japanese culinary experience with the opening of the SORA Japanese food hall at Terminal 2. With a massive 7,760 sq ft space that can accommodate 300 diners, six Japanese restaurant brands are serving up ramen, sashimi, okonomiyaki and Nippon-inspired desserts and beverages, among other culinary enticements. There’s Tsuruhashi Fugetsu, a well-known restaurant chain that offers Japanese savoury pancakes. The Japoli Kitchen serves Italian-Japanese fusion dishes. For meshi (rice dishes) with kaisen (seafood) and torobutsu (tuna), head to Kuro Maguro. Tendon Kohaku specialises in Edomae-style tendon with Hokkaido rice and crisp tempura. And, at SORA Bar, patrons can enjoy Hokkaido milk ice cream, sake, mojitos and, of course, the Singapore Sling.
