Ume San 100

Ume San 100 is definitely a must-visit for umeshu lovers. They offer an impressive range of small-batch, boutique umeshu labels that you rarely see in Singapore. There’s a good variety for all types of drinkers, and even for someone like me who doesn’t usually enjoy very sweet plum wines I was surprised that I ended up drinking quite a bit from the two bottles we ordered. The service was genuinely sincere and professional, especially when it came to recommending and helping us choose the right bottles. The food, however, was a mixed experience. The ramen’s texture was decent; the Angry Ramen had a nice spicy broth, but the dry ramen with minced pork was overly salty and the mince had a noticeably porky taste. The taco missed the mark—the chicken tasted off, as if poorly prepared. The “money bag” dish also wasn’t great; ingredients like the tuna were dry and looked dull. On the other hand, the mentaiko pasta was enjoyable on its own, though the scallop in it was tough and chewy. Surprisingly, the French fries ended up being the favourite dish of the night. Overall, Ume San 100 is excellent for drinks, especially umeshu, and their basic finger foods pair well. The drinks and service shine, while the food menu still has room for improvement.

A variety of umeshu - you'll definitely find something you like. The bartenders are well-versed in their offerings and friendly enough that you don't feel intimidated asking them to recommendations. I got the 3 cups set of tea-based umeshu and they were so good! For food, we got the dry ramen & mentaiko fries - both acceptable for bar food but not really a big portion, they are just to go with the drinks.

Came for lunch and they have lunch menu which quite limited choices. I got the dry spicy ramen and it was quite good as the noodles were pretty tender, just not spicy enough. Added 3 pieces of cha Siew for $2.50 and they were quite big though the pork taste was slightly strong. Atmosphere wise it’s very good and good place to chill.

Finally, a great hangout spot that puts umeshu front and center! Sample a wide range of umeshu paired with small bites, or heavy ones. It’s literally hidden behind a row of faux vending machines—look for the one with the Ume San 100 sign. Inside, you’ll find a cozy, welcoming space perfect for small groups. We tried the premium and fruity tasting sets, plus the Umeguro (umeshu negroni) to kick things off. The premium set was excellent for savoring pure, good quality umeshu, while the fruity ones—especially blood orange and pineapple—were bold and refreshing. The Umeguro looked the best (complete with a short fire show I failed to catch), though the gin and Campari overpowered the umeshu. Food was a bit of a mixed bag. The Uni Croquettes had crispy and warm panko, but the uni flavor was barely there—tasty, just not very “uni.” The Fugu Karaage was a pleasant surprise: tender fish with a light, crispy salt-and-pepper batter. The Truffle Saikoro Steak was juicy, flavorful, and paired beautifully with the premium umeshu. The Money Bags were hit-and-miss. Thin, not-so-sweet inari but decent tuna and salmon fillings. We’d skip the ramen next time; it tasted like instant noodles, though the fresh seaweed, spring onions, and gooey ajitama helped a little.

Good food is happiness in every bite. Umesan Nachi Pagoda is a fresh take on Japanese appetizers — crispy wonton chips, flavorful bites, and my favorite, umeshu. Started with Jasmine Umeshu, then the tea set — each sip irresistible. Cozy vibes, friendly staff, and endless umeshu love. 🍶✨

Simple but nice and cozy bar place. Came here for lunch to enjoy ramen. Very affordable, their lunch set is only 9.99 for a good delicious bowl. Was not disappointed at all. Broth was very rich and flavourful, a simple clean tonkotsu broth. Noodles was simple but excellent. Spring, thin and chewy. The chashu slices is thin but done well, and 2 large slices is not bad for this price range. Egg was perfect texture wise but taste was odd. It was slightly sour for some reason. This was the only let down.

Food is good! Chirashi, Uni croquette, Laksa with soup (delish!) No Soda, No Problem drink (some strawberry taste), Sea Garden gin.

This is a cozy place to relax, and I appreciate the wide range and variety of umeshu choices. However, I think it's better to chill the umeshu first before serving it with ice, as the temperature and taste of the drink wasn't ideal. The food was quite average; I enjoyed the beef, but everything else was pretty ordinary. The real draw here is the decor and the overall cozy atmosphere.

the staff here at umesan are so friendly and helpful! i entered as a customer but left as a friend. as soon as i entered one staff helped me with taking photos and videos and both staffs were so lovely to talk to! i think this bar is quite solo friendly! hot mess w lavender spray: this cocktail was super tasty. i mentioned to the bartender that i liked florals so he added a lavender spray at the end. i waited a bit to drink it so i couldn't taste the lavender so i think my review should be accurate for the regular cocktail. the cocktail has both rose and elderflower umeshu. usually elderflower can be a hit or miss bc of how sweet it can get but this was nicely balanced. one thing was i wish i could taste more rose. i loved the sakura sugar powder on top and it gave a really nice drinking experience smelling the cinnamony sakura while drinking. 4/5
