The UTW (“Under Ten Words”): Japanese kushiyaki bar with good tempura batter. The must-orders (if any): Special Tempura Don, Kawa Kushiyaki Summary: Situated at The Sail @ Marina Bay, the very misleadingly-named Kimoto Gastro Bar is decidedly traditional in its Japanese kushiyaki bar aspirations, offering an extensive variety of tanned, delectably charred…
