Located on the rooftop of Glorietta 3, the newly revamped Japan Town boasts an enticing array of Japanese restaurants, each offering a unique culinary journey that captures the essence of Japan's diverse and rich food culture along with an immersive dining experience inspired by its lively streets.

Here's a quick and easy guide to Japanese restaurants in Japan Town specializing in sushi, ramen, curry, and more.

Musashi-Maru is a comfort haven for sushi lovers. Among its bestsellers include salmon sashimi (P280), uni sashimi (P350), and its Hinageshi (P540) set menu that has five kinds of sushi, mini udon, and assorted tempura.
