Who can resist the likes of Hello Kitty, Kuromi, or Stitch after all? You can find all our available Funko Pop characters at our Sushi Cake section.

Yusheng - time to Lohei with the family

Well just behind the heels of the western new year, it’s time for Chinese New Year! I believe it’s the year of the Snake. Hiss hiss, rah rah.

If you were to ask me which new year celebration is more impactful, I would say Chinese New Year. I guess January 1 / December 31 is exciting but it’s one night, and perhaps symbolically it doesn’t mean as much as the multiple days of Chinese New Year with its various traditions as well as main idea of connecting with family.

One of the food experiences that people have fun with during CNY is Lohei. The sweet auspicious salad meant to bring health, wealth, and great boons for the new year. Get together and toss!

We have started our yusheng, and I’m glad that over the years we’ve seen lots of folks returning to order it. Every little thing becomes a part of tradition, right?

What's with the standing restaurants in Japan?

As a restaurant named “Standing Sushi Bar” you bet that we are fascinated with standing and dining. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on who you ask), we currently have seats at all our outlets - our original branch which was standing only is no longer around, and the Singapore crowds prefer sitting and dining versus standing and eating.

But perhaps the time will come when we can open another standing-only venue!

For now, we enjoyed this piece on the culture of standing restaurants in Japan.

Bōnenkai time!

In Japan towards the end of the year there are “drinking parties” where friends and colleagues get together for a “forget the year” gathering. Folks may debate about whether they want to get drunk with their co-workers, but we’re in the camp that it helps create bonding moments - of course one must drink responsibly!

We’ve created our own Bōnenkai promotion to make it easy for groups to get together and have fun! Let’s drink to forget the year and also celebrate our achievements!

10 Fun Facts About Sushi You Probably Didn't Know

Sushi is much-loved in Singapore, but how much do you really know about this iconic Japanese dish? At Standing Sushi Bar, we’re passionate about sharing not just great food, but also the fascinating stories and culture behind it. Here are 10 fun facts about sushi that might surprise you:

1. Sushi Didn’t Start With Raw Fish

Originally, sushi was a method of preserving fish. Fish was fermented with rice to extend its shelf life. The rice wasn’t eaten but served as a wrapper to keep the fish fresh, or at least edible.

2. The Word ‘Sushi’ Refers to the Rice, Not the Fish

‘Sushi’ translates to ‘sour-tasting’ in Japanese, referencing the vinegared rice, which is the foundation of all sushi dishes. You can put almost any fish or topping on vinegared rice and it would be sushi!

3. Modern Sushi Began in the Streets of Tokyo

The sushi we know today as ‘nigiri,’ was first served as street food in Tokyo during the early 19th century. It was a quick and convenient snack for busy workers. Nigiri is the sushi that is a small bed of rice with a topping on it. Maki is the term for a sushi roll.

4. There’s a ‘Proper’ Way to Dip Sushi in Soy Sauce

To avoid overpowering the delicate flavors, only the fish side should touch the soy sauce. Dunking rice directly into soy sauce is common but that can make the rice break apart easily and also means the soy sauce will be a strong part of the flavor. Of course ultimately please dip the sushi the way you want to! The most important thing is that you enjoy eating it.

5. The First Sushi Wasn’t Made in Japan

Sushi actually originated in Southeast Asia (likely what is now Thailand) before making its way to Japan. The original method of fermenting fish with rice for preservation started in regions around the Mekong River.

6. Sushi’s Colorful Evolution

Sushi isn’t just raw fish. It has evolved to include all kinds of creations like sushi rolls filled with fruits and vegetables, fusion sushi with crazy sauces, and even sushi cakes!

7. Chopsticks Aren’t Necessary

It’s perfectly acceptable to eat sushi with your hands, especially nigiri. In fact, this is the traditional way to enjoy it! Of course make sure your hands are clean…

8. Sushi Rice Has a Secret Ingredient

Sushi rice isn’t just cooked rice. It’s seasoned with a mixture of vinegar, sugar, salt, and mirin (cooking sake). Sushi chefs arguably prize their sushi rice recipe above all else!

9. There’s Sushi Made Without Fish

Sushi isn’t all about seafood. Vegetarian sushi uses ingredients like cucumber, avocado, and egg. On the flip side of vegetarian, there’s also delicious sushi made with raw and seared beef! At Standing Sushi Bar we offer both vegetarian and beef sushi.

10. Sushi Isn’t Just for Special Occasions

In the past sushi was often considered a luxurious treat. These days it’s become an everyday, healthy food choice, especially in Singapore. While we offer both premium donburi bowls and casual sushi rolls and nigiri, we want to make sure that sushi and Japanese food stays affordable and approachable for all.


At Standing Sushi Bar, we’re proud to serve sushi that’s steeped in tradition while embracing modern flavors. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur or just discovering your love for this cuisine, we invite you to visit us and try our unique offerings — from fresh sashimi to premium donburi bowls like the Kaisen Chirashi Donburi and the A5 Japanese Wagyu Don.
