Question 1

What is Mare Hachikyo?

Accepted Answer

Mare Hachikyo is the first overseas outpost of the Hachikyo Group from Sapporo, Hokkaido. 'Mare' means 'rare' in Japanese. The restaurant serves kappo-style omakase showcasing Hokkaido cuisine, with 90% of ingredients sourced directly from Hokkaido — a first for any restaurant in Singapore. It took over the former Sushi Kimura space at Palais Renaissance in March 2025. The menu is refreshed every 6 weeks to reflect peak seasonality.

Question 2

How much does Mare Hachikyo cost?

Accepted Answer

Lunch: 3-course S$68++, 4-course S$88++, 5-course S$108++. Dinner: 9-course omakase S$228++. À la carte dinner also available (minimum 5 dishes). All prices subject to service charge and GST. The lunch sets offer excellent value for Hokkaido-sourced ingredients.

Question 3

What is Tsukko Meshi?

Accepted Answer

Tsukko Meshi is Mare Hachikyo's iconic dish — and the Hachikyo Group actually invented it 20 years ago. Premium ikura (salmon roe) is generously scooped onto a bowl of Hokkaido rice until it overflows, accompanied by enthusiastic shouts of 'Oisa!' from the chef. You decide when to say stop. The tradition was inspired by a fisherman who served the group's founder rice piled high with ikura as a gesture of Hokkaido hospitality. Note: if you cannot finish the ikura, a monetary donation is requested — they don't want the fishermen's efforts wasted.

Question 4

Where is Mare Hachikyo located?

Accepted Answer

Mare Hachikyo is at 390 Orchard Road, #01-07, Palais Renaissance, Singapore 238871. This is the former Sushi Kimura space. The nearest MRT is Orchard (NS22), about 5 minutes walk. Palais Renaissance is at the corner of Orchard Road and Bideford Road.

Question 5

What happened to Sushi Kimura?

Accepted Answer

Sushi Kimura (Michelin 1-star) closed permanently in November 2024 at Palais Renaissance. Chef Tomoo Kimura continues to be involved with The Gyu Bar at Stevens Road. The Palais Renaissance space (#01-07) was taken over by Mare Hachikyo, which opened in March 2025.

Question 6

What is the Signature Donabe at Mare Hachikyo?

Accepted Answer

The Signature Donabe is a claypot rice cooked with Hokkaido spring water, dashi, kombu, mirin, and seasonal seafood (snow crab and trout in winter). It is enjoyed in three ways: first on its own with the seafood, then as Tsukko Meshi (overflowing ikura), and finally as ochazuke with warm dashi poured over it. This three-way progression is similar to unagi hitsumabushi and is one of the most memorable courses in the omakase.
