THE WAKAMAMA OMAKASE
What Exactly is Japanese Vegan Omakase?
Singapore's first Japanese omakase served entirely from plants.
The Wakamama Omakase is a seasonal, multi-course vegan tasting menu rooted in Shojin Ryori, the temple food of Japan's Zen monasteries. It is Singapore's first Japanese omakase served entirely from plants, from an allium-free kitchen.
The menu is ever-changing, designed by Chef Joyce around the produce of the moment, and built on koji-aged vegetables, 72-hour dashi, and fire technique. A premium plant-based dining experience that sits among Singapore's most distinctive fine dining destinations, vegan or otherwise.
At Wakamama, our vegan omakase restaurant is not about subtraction—it is about transformation. Rooted in the Japanese philosophy of Shun (eating ingredients at their peak season), our multi-course menu is a celebration of Singapore's diverse produce elevated by classic Edomae sushi techniques.

FOR NON-VEGANS
Japanese cuisine through a new lens.
For non-vegans, this is an opportunity to taste Japanese cuisine through a new lens. You will not find processed meat substitutes here. Instead, you will encounter the deep, smoky umami of fire-roasted tomato nigiri, the creamy richness of Hokkaido soy milk tofu, and the crisp bite of agedashi miso eggplant prepared in a dashi so complex you won't believe it's entirely plant-based.

THE MENUS

Every omakase is seasonal. Add a pairing course by course.
Signature Omakase
$168 /pax
A multi-course seasonal vegan tasting menu showcasing the produce of the month — Wakamama's signature plant-based omakase experience and the most-booked menu among first-time guests.
Premium Chef Omakase
$238 /pax
Wakamama's premium tasting menu — an extended multi-course chef's omakase featuring rare seasonal produce, longer-aged koji, and signature courses developed for the month. Singapore's flagship luxury vegan dining experience.
Artisanal Sake Pairing
$88 /pax
A rotating sake pairing drawn from small, family-owned breweries in Japan that produce only 200 to 300 bottles per season and sell almost exclusively to trusted local clients. Our Japanese supplier travels to each brewery personally to negotiate allocation and bring back a strictly limited number of bottles. Most of these labels have no English-language presence and are unavailable elsewhere in Singapore; the selection rotates continuously based on what she is able to source.
Studio Ghibli Mocktail Pairing
$60 /pax
Monthly Omakase Event
from $128 /pax
A monthly rotating omakase event — a creative vegan tasting menu built around a single theme, ingredient, or technique each month. Reservations open at the start of each cycle.
A course-by-course alcohol-free pairing built around the worlds of Studio Ghibli — composed as a parallel narrative to the omakase rather than offered as a beverage list. Each mocktail draws on the same fermentation techniques as the kitchen: amazake, shio koji, fruit ferments, and house-made cordials, entirely free of refined sugar. The only pairing of its kind in Singapore's fine dining landscape.
Kids Menu
$28 /kid
A little omakase for young guests aged 6 to 10: a handroll, Japanese curry rice, soup, and a scoop of gelato or a popsicle. One set per child.
WHY IT WORKS FOR EVERYONE
Why This Plant-Based Fine Dining Menu Works for Everyone (Including Carnivores)
一
Satiety & Substance
A proper 16-18 items omakase is designed to leave you comfortably full. We utilize complex carbohydrates (sushi rice seasoned with red vinegar) and healthy fats (avocado, sesame, walnuts) to mimic the mouthfeel of a traditional sushi counter.
二
The Umami Factor
The Japanese pantry is naturally rich in vegan umami—kombu, dried shiitake, homemade chickpea miso, and yuzu kosho. Our chefs use reduction techniques to create sauces with the same depth as a classic bone broth or fish glaze.
三
Curiosity Over Labels
Many of our regular guests are "flexitarians" and omakase purists who come for the knife work and the intimate chef's counter banter. Come for the craftsmanship; stay for flavors that stand toe-to-toe or even better with the best plant based restaurants in Singapore.

FAQ
Before you book.
More answers on our FAQ page.
Is Wakamama the best plant based restaurant in Singapore?
Without a doubt, we are one of the best in Singapore serving plant based food with our traditional Japanese techniques, modern fermentation and fine dining service.
Is vegan Japanese food just cucumber rolls and edamame?
Absolutely not. While we love a perfect edamame, vegan omakase at Wakamama features 16-18+ items of tsukemono, agedashi, hassun, nimono (simmered dishes), and intricate nigiri using over 10 different vegetables and ferments. It is a full, structured Japanese meal that will not disappoint.
I'm a meat-lover. Will I be hungry after this vegan fine dining experience?
We design our menu with the traditional omakase flow in mind: start light, build to a rich "main" simmered dish, and finish with miso soup and tamago (vegan omelette). 99% of our non-vegan guests report being "pleasantly surprised by how full and satisfied" they are.
What makes this the most unique vegan place for a date night in Singapore?
Unlike casual vegan cafes, we offer a counter-seating only experience where the chef places each piece of sushi directly on your plate. It's the same ritual and precision of a high-end sushi bar, but with a vegan Japanese twist that makes it an unexpected and memorable conversation starter.
THE TASTING MENU
Singapore's Premium Plant-Based Tasting Menu
Wakamama's omakase format is, in practical terms, a multi-course vegan tasting menu — the two terms describe the same thing. What sets the experience apart is the cuisine: a creative vegan dining menu built from Japanese fine dining technique rather than Western tasting-menu conventions. Each seating progresses through 16-20 items depending on the menu tier, with mocktail pairings designed course-by-course.
For diners looking for temple food, a Buddhist vegetarian meal or a luxury vegan tasting menu, Wakamama brings the rules of Shojin Ryori to an omakase counter: fully vegan, allium-free and seasonal. Keeping a lunar vegetarian day (初一、十五)? Tell us when you book.
