Minami at Warehouse 26 is a short drive from EmQuartier making it a convenient place to access if one has a car (with parking available within Warehouse 26 premise). However you may need to get a taxi here if you do not have private transport.
Why I would recommend this place? Enjoy the 'genkiness' of having a Sous Vide (possibly) air-fried chicken drumstick torched right in front of you The roasted garlic will sway even a vampire, super fragrant which I would match with garlic rice They serve a wide variety of tubbed gelatos here which is a great dessert offering (I always go for the Yakult flavour with jellies) The space is tight with not more than 10 tables, but the interior design is zen and Japanese fanatics will enjoy the authentic vibe here

Also tried their pork bowl (buta kakuni don) which at Bht220 (not cheap) was disappointing for the small portion of meat & I highly doubt this was some "heritage kurobuta pork". I had a similar in Japan & it was so much more generous (vis-a-vis what I paid) thus a 4 not 5...
