Waku Ghin:
Location and atmosphere
Waku Ghin is discreetly located on the second floor of Marina Bay Sands (Address: 2 Bayfront Avenue, #02-04), helmed by world-renowned chef Tetsuya Wakuda. Named after the "silver urn," the restaurant resembles a modern Japanese culinary theater—featuring 10 exclusive dining rooms surrounding an open kitchen. Basalt countertops and Edo Kiriko glassware reflect subtle glows under cool lighting, while dynamic wall projections showcase Kyoto gardens transitioning through the seasons, creating an immersive atmosphere that blends futuristic aesthetics with Zen tranquility.
Features and concepts
Waku Ghin embodies the core philosophy of "Japanese seasonal flavors and ocean's bounty," specializing in innovative kaiseki cuisine and Japanese-style grilling. The chef meticulously selects premium global ingredients: Tasmanian sea urchin, Miyazaki wagyu beef, and Hokkaido hairy crab. Combining molecular gastronomy techniques with traditional "cut first, cook second" philosophy, the restaurant presents a 10-course culinary narrative. Each private dining room features a dedicated chef team performing live teppanyaki cooking performances.
