Fortunately for ordinary consumers, there are some places where we can find affordable Japanese food in Singapore. Here is our list of affordable Japanese restaurants in Singapore specialising in different types of Japanese cuisines. We have provided links to our reviews which have more pictures of the respective restaurants,  food and menus.

Kanshoku Ramen Bar

We continue our list of affordable Japanese restaurants in Singapore with Kanshoku Ramen Bar – a ramen joint that was started by a pair of good friends in Singapore. How does a locally created ramen concept compare with something imported from the Land of the Rising Sun? We were impressed with not just the ramen but also the gyoza as well. Read about our visit to their Orchard Gateway outlet here.
