Once you land up in Kampai, you will discover that its interiors are awash in the colours of springtime Japan. Fragile pink cherry blossoms, popularly referred to as Sakura, dot every nook and cranny of this stylised dining outlet, while partially curtained enclosures are lit up with the soft glow of pendant lamps. You will also surely brush against droves of Japanese expatriate diners who are eager to sample the nation’s food canon. You can never go wrong with the 'Spider Sushi Roll', where the textural contrast of crispy soft shell crab and tobiko sauce is dramatic. The whole roll seems to have showered in an oceanic haze of umami before being presented as neat little parcels on your plate. Equally enticing is the 'Shoyo Ramen', where the fall-apart pork chashu floats in a sea of deep soy-flavoured broth, along with nori, leeks and noodles.
