Calling sea urchin lovers! Acclaimed uni specialist Morita UNIGORO has officially opened its doors in Singapore. Hailing from Osaka, Japan, where reservations are notoriously hard to score, this newly opened Singapore outpost brings a taste of Japan’s premium uni omakase experience right to the heart of the CBD specifically along Stanley Street. They have taken over the space previously occupied by Nishikane by Nobuhiro Nishi.

The Singapore branch features a cosy 14-seater counter-style setup. Diners can watch the chef prepare each dish right before their eyes. A theatrical and engaging way to appreciate the fine attention to detail that goes into every course.

The Omakase Menus

Morita UNIGORO offers three omakase tiers priced at S$98, S$168, and S$250. We went for the S$168 menu for recent visit.

We began the meal by selecting our chopstick holder, as the staff presented a delightful selection of colourful Japanese designs for us to choose from.

New Uniku (Uni & Meat)

A bold start to the meal – thin slices of A5 Kagoshima Ribeye, raw egg yolk and bafun uni. Diners are instructed to spread the yolk over the beef and wrap the uni inside like a little parcel. The result? Silky, tender beef with a luxurious, almost creamy texture that pairs surprisingly well with the briny sweetness of the uni.

Signature Uni Hot Pot

The main highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the uni-infused hot pot, featuring a Kyoto-style saikyo miso broth made from beef bones and asari clams, then blended tableside with fresh uni for an extra layer of richness. Each diner is served an individual pot filled with premium ingredients, including clams, abalone, lobster, vegetables, A5 Kagoshima ribeye, and porkbelly. All meticulously sourced from various regions across Japan. The result is a deeply umami-laden, irresistibly moreish broth that lingers on the palate.

Uni Risotto

Don’t leave before trying this clever dish made from the leftover hot pot broth. Rice is cooked directly in the soup and topped with grated lotus root and a final spoonful of uni. It’s deeply comforting and flavour-packed – a must-try! Diners can choose between a medium or large portion to suit their appetite.

Optional Add-On: Uni Pasta (Singapore Exclusive)

Although not part of the omakase, the uni pasta is a recommended to add-on. The dish is currently on 1-for-1 promotion available with any alcoholic drink purchase for the month of May 2025. Priced at S$48++, the pasta becomes S$24++ per portion. Rich, creamy, and indulgent and this Singapore-exclusive item is worth ordering if you have room to spare.

Dessert

The meal ends on a refreshing note with a watermelon granita paired with salt flakes. A Japanese touch to balance the sweetness.

Morita UNIGORO is a wonderful addition to Singapore’s omakase scene, especially for uni lovers. S$168 price tag might feel steep for the whole course but considering the use of premium ingredients and personalised service makes this a worthwhile indulgence for special occasions.
