“Sushi Arai,” the Renowned Ginza Restaurant, Makes Its Overseas Debut in Singapore

SEMBA Responsible for Construction

SEMBA Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Jun Odagiri; hereinafter “SEMBA”), a spatial design company, announces the completion of construction for Ginza Sushi Arai Singapore, the first overseas establishment of the prestigious Tokyo-based sushi restaurant Sushi Arai. It opened in Singapore in February 2026, offering an environment that faithfully carries forward the philosophy and craftsmanship of its flagship location in Ginza.

Realizing Authentic “Sushi Arai” Beyond Japan

Located in Tokyo’s Ginza district, Sushi Arai is recognized as one of Japan’s most distinguished sushi restaurants. The sushi crafted with exceptional skill by master chef Yuichi Arai is highly regarded both in Japan and abroad.

Ginza Sushi Arai Singapore has opened as the restaurant’s first overseas location and faithfully carries forward the philosophy of its flagship in Ginza. For its development, OYAMATSU DESIGN STUDIO oversaw the design, ITAI KOMUTEN handled the sourcing of interior materials and provided technical guidance during construction, and SEMBA carried out the construction.

The interior comprises an eight-seat sushi counter and a private dining room, characterized by a minimalist Japanese aesthetic. The space incorporates traditional materials such as Kiso Hinoki and Kitayama Cedar, showcasing the craftsmanship and sensibilities central to Japanese design culture.

SEMBA’s Proven Capability in Executing Japanese Spatial Aesthetics Overseas

Drawing upon nearly eight decades of proven expertise in design and construction, SEMBA leverages its broad experience across commercial facilities, office environments, public transportation spaces, and other diverse sectors. The company established its first overseas subsidiary in Hong Kong in 1984, and has since developed its international business through operations in Taiwan, Singapore, Shanghai, Vietnam, and Malaysia.

Leveraging its extensive experience supporting Japanese brands in overseas markets, SEMBA brought meticulous attention to detail to the Ginza Sushi Arai Singapore. By integrating precise craftsmanship with a deep understanding of local cultural and environmental considerations, SEMBA successfully delivered a space that embodies the refined aesthetics of Japanese spatial design within an international setting.
