Jinkura Izakaya

2026 January Enjoyed the Wednesday Sashimi promo. Generous thick cut portions. Also had the Edamame and Tonkatsu Donburi and Veggies Tempura. Of course have to also get the Sapporo Beer. Signed up as member and received several vouchers. However, cannot use all together at same time. This was a little forced, seems like a way to make the consumer come back for multiple times. I get it, but at the same time the coercion, makes me feel slightly offended. Not sure this is the effect the voucher program is going for. Cozy ambience, low lighting, good for relaxing, perhaps a beer on a Friday etc. The seat cushions don't appear to be in the best of conditions, visibly so. Tried and couldn't find one that looked acceptable. Would like if these were properly cleaned.

We visited JinKura Izakaya and get to try their Friday Free-Flow Sake and Beer promotion @$35 per pax. It’s a 3-hour liquid buffet, which is honestly a total steal for drinkers like us! 🤣 🍻 The food, however, was the real star of the show. Here’s what we loved: • Beef Tongue ($16): This was incredible. It had a wonderful sesame oil aroma and was topped with fried garlic that complemented the beef perfectly. The texture was spot on—cooked just right! • 9-Type Special Sashimi ($68): This is a must-order. The slices are huge, thick, and incredibly fresh. We really enjoyed every piece. • Fried Salmon Skin: This was the perfect snack. Even after sitting on the table and turning cold, it stayed super crispy! Beyond the food, the service made the night. The lady boss is so chatty and attentive, and both the chef and the waitress were extremely helpful and welcoming. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back again!

Had a wonderful dinner here. The food arrived quickly, and everything we ordered was delicious. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and the cozy atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. Perfect spot for gatherings with friends or a casual date night.

First time here on a walk-in basis with a group of friends. We were recommended here. Full house. Queued and managed to get our Tables after less than an hour. We began to order the food, Sashimi Moriwase, Kaki, recommended fish Isaki, Garic friend rice, wagyu cheek, Ika Karage, yakiudon, Yakitori, etc. Everyone loved the food. Looking through the menu and tasting the food, a nostalgic feeling overcame me. Reminded me of the cooking of my Japanese Chef friend whom have since left Singapore. Hmm Ah Leong, are you here?

Second time visit. Food is great. Love their Chirashi don. Sashimi is thick and fresh.
