Another one bites the dust in Singapore’s dining scene. Hong Kong-based restaurant chain Itacho Sushi has closed its remaining outlets in Singapore, with its website and social media accounts no longer active.
Founded in Hong Kong in 2004 under the Taste of Japan Group, Itacho Sushi was known for its handmade sushi and popular salmon dishes. The chain expanded internationally in the late 2000s and opened its first Singapore outlet in 2009.
In its early years, the brand built a strong local following, often drawing long queues at mealtimes. According to local Reddit users who frequented the chain, it used to be known for offering what many diners saw as premium Japanese food at relatively accessible prices, including promotional sushi priced at under S$1 per piece.
