Omoté Soho
What Makes Omoté Soho Special
About Omoté Soho
Originally Sushiro, a 12-seat counter at Thomson Plaza. Rebranded to Omoté when the mega-chain arrived. Chef Nagae pivoted to fusion chirashi — now the defining identity.
Omoté Soho opened January 2023 at Velocity Novena. The most colourful outlet — pastel blues, pinks, turquoise. Top 40s music. Japanese food for the Instagram generation.
The chirashi dons are bold departures from tradition — sashimi pre-marinated in signature sauces. Cuts are notably thick, almost chunks rather than slices. Photographs beautifully, eats even better.

Your Dining Journey
Arrive & Soak In the Colours
Level 3 Velocity. Pastel energy. Grab a booth or bar seat. The chirashi section is where the magic lives.
Choose Your Bowl
First-timer: Umami Soy (S$19.80). Truffle lover: S$23.80. Each bowl arrives overflowing with thick sashimi chunks.
Add a Side
Black Truffle Chawanmushi is luxurious. Karatsuki Scallop Motoyaki for cheesy indulgence.
The Bowl Arrives
The Instagram moment. Start with lightest fish, move to fattier pieces. Mix the rice from the bottom — the sauce-soaked last bites are the best.
Not traditional chirashi — and that is by design. The fusion marinades work. Thick, fresh fish over Niigata rice. The Truffle Roasted Garlic Chirashi is the one to get. Novena is less crowded than Thomson Plaza.
