Omu Nomu

📍Beach Road

If you're in the mood for sake, Omu Nomu is a must-visit – it's practically a sanctuary for sake lovers. With a weekly rotating sake list curated by expert Sake Sommeliers, boredom is off the menu. They take pride in being the first in Singapore to introduce Doburoku, a special unfiltered “raw” sake traditionally part of Japanese temple rituals. Their collection doesn't stop at Doburoku; it includes experimental and international varieties as well. You can tell they take their food seriously when they have seafood flown in four times a week and dishes cooked over Japanese Binchotan charcoal. The pairing of their craft sake with dishes like the Foie Gras and Overloaded Maki left us over the moon – it's definitely Oddle team approved! Ideal spot for unwinding with good food, good drinks, and good conversations – exactly what you need after a long day or to cap off your week.
