Get Tokyo’s viral Tsujihan seafood kaisendon at Kaunta Singapore
There are many popular restaurants in Tokyo for chirashi and kaisendon, but Tsujihan has always been a cut above the rest. The popular restaurant has several outlets around Tokyo, each sporting queues of up to an hour and a half with patrons waiting to try their viral loaded seafood kaisendon. Good news for Singaporeans, though, as you can now get your hands on the dish in Singapore, thanks to Kaunta, a Japanese restaurant in Tanjong Pagar.

Kanuta is typically an omakase restaurant, but they’ve since branched out to offer their version of Tsujihan’s kaisendon in three different sizes: Ume ($19.90), Hana ($29.90), and Tokujo ($39.90), or small, medium, and large respectively.
Each bowl comes with 10 different types of sashimi, which is then crowned with lobes of uni, as well as ikura pearls. With each portion, you get three slices of aged hamachi sashimi as sidedish, and toppings such as fresh wasabi, ginger, and an egg yolk sauce. If you order the Hana or Tokujo portions, you get shredded crabmeat as a topping as well.

The ingredients are fresh and of premium quality, and each bowl is surprisingly affordable for the amount of seafood you get.

That’s not all that’s special about Kanuta’s Tsujihan bowls though—there’s a unique step-by-step process to enjoying your bowl. First, you’re asked to mix the wasabi into the egg yolk sauce. Then, dress the kaisendon with it, and dig in. Once you’re about halfway done, beckon the chef to pour a seafood stock, spring onions, and yuzu zest into your bowl, turning the dish into a seafoody ochazuke. It’s quite similar to the way you’d eat unagi hitsumabushi!
Fair warning that Kanuta is receiving a bit of buzz since they’ve launched their Tsujihan dupes, so you should definitely expect to queue a bit during peak hours. Arrive during off-peak hours to beat the line. Kanuta suggests diners come by before 12pm from Tuesday to Friday.
