When it comes to indulging in Japanese cuisine in Singapore, few places manage to strike that perfect balance between quality and value. Shin Minori Japanese Restaurant, a familiar name among buffet lovers, is taking the celebration of Singapore’s 60th birthday up a notch this year with a special dining promotion that will excite any seafood lover or Japanese food enthusiast.
From now till 31 August 2025, diners can enjoy their Classic Omizu Japanese High Tea Buffet for just $60 per person. That alone sounds good, but wait—what truly makes this offer irresistible is the inclusion of free-flow Sakoshi Bay Oysters and cooked sweet shrimps during the buffet. This is not your average Japanese buffet; it’s an afternoon high tea feast worth blocking your calendar for.
Let’s talk about why this deal is so worth it.
A Premium Buffet at an Unmatched Price Point
Anyone who’s dined at Shin Minori before will know they are no strangers to generous buffet offerings. Known for their wide selection of Japanese favourites—ranging from sushi, sashimi, yakimono (grilled dishes), tempura, and hearty cooked items—the restaurant offers an experience that often surpasses expectations, especially when it comes to variety and freshness.
This time, they’re offering the Classic Omizu Japanese High Tea Buffet at just $60 per person, and that includes premium free-flow Sakoshi Bay Oysters. These oysters are celebrated for their clean, briny sweetness and plump, juicy texture. Combined with free-flow cooked sweet shrimps, it’s a deal tailored for seafood lovers seeking value without compromising on quality.
It’s rare to find oysters served buffet-style in Singapore, let alone at a mid-range price point like this. Many buffets charge a premium just for oysters alone. Here, you’re not only getting oysters but a full spread of Japanese high tea favourites along with them.
Limited Time Only and Special Dates
This high tea buffet is available from Monday to Friday, 3:00pm to 5:45pm (with last orders taken at 5:15pm), excluding public holidays—but here’s the exception: they are honouring this promotion on 9 August 2025, Singapore’s National Day.
So if you’re already planning a quiet celebration with good food and good company this National Day, this is a great alternative to crowded firework events or overbooked restaurants. Just make sure you make a reservation, because it’s likely to be full that day.
Child-Friendly Buffet Option
Families with young ones will be pleased to know that Shin Minori also offers a child buffet option at $45. It’s a great opportunity for children to explore different Japanese dishes in a casual and comfortable setting without parents having to splurge excessively. This makes it an ideal option for family gatherings or a treat during the school holidays.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss This
1. A Rare Oyster Deal: Free-flow oysters are usually reserved for high-end buffet offerings or promotional tasting menus priced upwards of $100. This is one of the rare few times you can enjoy premium oysters without breaking the bank.
2. High Quality, Generous Portions: Shin Minori has built a reputation for offering generous portions of freshly prepared dishes, and this promotion continues that tradition. The range available in their high tea buffet is sure to satisfy whether you’re in the mood for sushi, tempura, or light grilled bites.
3. Perfect for a Mid-Afternoon Indulgence: The timing is ideal. Whether you’re catching up with friends or taking a break from work, the 3:00pm – 5:45pm window is a quiet and relaxing time to dine, away from the lunchtime crowd.
4. Celebrate SG60 in Style: Dining out during National Day season doesn’t always mean having to squeeze into packed cafes or jostle for overpriced dinner sets. This deal lets diners celebrate SG60 meaningfully—with good food and better value.
5. Ideal for Seafood Lovers: The promotion caters especially to those who can’t get enough of ocean delights. Whether you’re a fan of briny, chilled oysters or tender, flavourful sweet shrimp, the unlimited servings guarantee satisfaction.
