Mizue is an exciting new multi-concept dining destination. By day, it offers a Japanese Kissaten café and transforms into a vibrant wine bar by night. In the evening, the space comes alive with an extensive selection of wines and sake curated by General Manager Myra Buccat, paired with Japanese-Italian-inspired bites by Head Chef Vikern Chua. I visited Mizue for dinner, eager to explore its unique blend of flavours.
Buckwheat Shokupan, Smoked Goma Butter 4/5
Our meal began with the Buckwheat Shokupan (12 for 3pc), a soft and fluffy Japanese-style light yet satisfyingly chewy bread. It was paired with smoked goma butter, which had a nutty aroma and a subtle smokiness, making it a simple but addictive start to the meal.
Whipped Burrata, Frozen Momotaro Tomato, Yuzu Oil 5/5
The Whipped Burrata with Frozen Momotaro Tomato and Yuzu Oil ($22) was an unexpected but brilliant pairing. The whipped burrata was smooth, creamy, and delicate, while the frozen momotaro tomato introduced a natural sweetness and refreshing chill that contrasted beautifully with the cheese. The yuzu oil added a zesty brightness, lifting the dish with a citrusy, aromatic note.
Scallop & Maitake Risotto 4.2/5
Unlike traditional Italian risottos that retain a firmer bite in the rice grains, Mizue's version of Scallop & Maitake Risotto ($28) was softer and creamier, leaning towards a more comforting texture. The plump, juicy scallops provided a sweet seafood richness, while the Maitake mushrooms introduced an earthy depth that complemented the dish wonderfully.
Pappardelle Kombu Beef Ragu, Parmesan, Togarashi 4.8/5
The Pappardelle Kombu Beef Ragu ($30) was another standout dish, featuring perfectly cooked pasta with a delightful bite. The kombu-infused beef ragu provided a deep umami richness, while the Parmesan and Togarashi elevated the flavours further, adding a hint of spice and complexity. This dish was a satisfying and well-balanced fusion of Japanese and Italian elements.
Tripe Fromage: Mascarpone, Parmesan, Cream Cheese 4.8/5
We indulged in the Triple Fromage, a moist and luscious cheesecake made with Mascarpone, Parmesan, and Cream Cheese for dessert. The combination created a perfect balance of light creaminess and rich umami notes, offering a sweet yet sophisticated ending to the meal.
Mizue impresses with its thoughtfully curated menu, blending Japanese and Italian influences in an elevated yet approachable way. The combination of expertly curated wines, bold flavours, and a chic ambience makes it a must-visit for those looking for a unique dining experience in Singapore.
