Assaggi Was Spectacular

Taking over the space of Merchants Wine Store & Cellar, RAPPU at Duxton positions itself as Singapore’s OG handroll bar. The latest offering by The Feather Blade group, RAPPU takes pride in serving diners “proper seaweed, sushi rice and quality seafood ingredients, in a big-ass venue with kick-ass tunes”. With an introduction like this, this is certainly not your traditional sushi bar setup.
They also have premium ingredients. For the high roller ($28), you can choose either wagyu beef or toro, topped with uni, ikura, caviar and gold flakes. The beef is rather tough. The toro is decent but somehow I don’t feel that it warrants the price tag.
Along with the rolls, RAPPU offers a decent selection of sake and Japanese-inspired cocktails such as umami old fashioned ($16), ginzu ($14) and highball ($11). To go with your handrolls, you may try sake pairing ($18 for 6 shooters). The Kawatsuru sake stands out as the sweet and sour notes complement the engawa handroll.
Overall an OK non-traditional Japanese fusion experience. 6/10
