TAO Group and Marina Bay Sands have officially opened Japanese restaurant KOMA on 26 July. Featuring sushi, robata and izakaya style dining, KOMA offers a menu that includes original creations from KOMA’s Executive Chef Kunihiro Moroi. The restaurant also boasts a bar and a lounge that serves an extensive selection of over 30 types of sake sourced from across Japan. 

Designed by renowned American design firm Rockwell Group, the 230-seat restaurant, bar and lounge is truly a one-of-a-kind work of art that is breathtaking in every way. Guests arrive through a striking 20 metre-long passageway that is inspired by the torii gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto. Once inside the bar and lounge, guests are greeted by glass owls which line both the bar and a large wood “grid” suspended from the ceiling. The owls represent wisdom, luck, and good fortune. The “WOW” moment however, is the 2.5 metre-high Japanese bell with 20 different faces that overlooks a traditional Japanese footbridge and reflecting pool. 

The soaring 7-metre high ceiling features decorative acoustic panels in the shape of lily pads and is designed to mimic the surface of a pond. Anchoring the dining room is the 15-seat sushi bar with a dazzling display of the day’s offerings. On the mezzanine floor, a semi-private dining room caters to intimate group gatherings, while offering an expansive view of the action below. 

KOMA’s stand out dishes include the Salmon Pillow, a crisp puff pastry shell filled with smoked avocado and topped with salmon sashimi and burnt jalapeño peppers.

The opening of KOMA completes the final concept launched by TAO Group and Marina Bay Sands as part of a new dining and entertainment complex at the integrated resort, which includes LAVO Italian Restaurant & Rooftop Bar, MARQUEE Nightclub, and AVENUE Lounge.
