The bar is the star attraction at Wasabi. It features the most impressive repertoire of Japanese Sake’s with a separate Sake bar. To start off, you can try the ‘saketini’, a blend of vodka, a dash of vermouth, sake (rice wine), and a Japanese fruit yamamomo. The Nippon Mary wins hands down over Kappacooler. It's just the thing to beat summer blues with. (Photo/Pushpesh Dhingra)

The main dining area of this 54-cover is done up in monochrome dृcor, colour-washed with light, a mirrored ceiling and fanciful glass baubles! The restaurant is uncluttered and chic, with flute glass chandeliers and almost theatrical like, Teppenyaki stations. The restaurant is divided roughly into four sections: the sake bar at the entrance, the main seating area, a teppanyaki station, a sake counter and a private dining room. The seating for every section has been catered for separately with the lighting playing an integral role. (Photo/Pushpesh Dhingra)

Designed by Theo Nicolau from EAD, London, the bar at Wasabi displays a contemporary feeling with its modern decor. It stocks 20 varieties of sake, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The sophisticated lighting control system - a mixture of concealed LED lighting coffered ceiling zones and decorative flute glass chandeliers provide dramatic mood lighting and scene settings throughout.
