Japanese Side Dishes

Great sides are the quiet workhorses of any spread, and our japanese side dishes catering menu is built to make every meal feel complete. Born from Sushijiro’s omakase heritage and prepared in our Singapore central kitchen, these dishes carry the same care we give our signature platters, just in a more shareable, crowd-friendly form. Whether you are filling out a bento, expanding a buffet line, or simply giving guests a few extra bites to love, our Japanese sides bring texture, warmth, and variety to the table. Everything here is strictly No Pork No Lard, so you can host a mixed crowd with confidence.

Our japanese side dishes catering line-up
From hot-and-crispy to fresh-and-light, our sides cover the flavours people reach for first. The classics anchor the range, with options that suit casual gatherings and polished corporate events alike.

Chicken karaage — juicy, marinated and double-fried for that signature crunch; a reliable crowd-pleaser for all ages.
Agedashi tofu — silky tofu in a savoury dashi broth, comforting and gentle on the palate.
Edamame — lightly salted young soybeans, the effortless starter everyone keeps coming back to.

How japanese sides round out a bento or buffet
A main dish sets the tone, but the sides decide how generous a meal feels. Pair a few of these with our bento catering to turn a single box into a balanced, satisfying meal, or layer several across a Japanese buffet spread so guests can graze at their own pace. A typical rhythm we recommend is one hot fried side, one warm tofu or simmered dish, and one fresh or chilled option. That contrast of temperatures and textures keeps a buffet line feeling abundant rather than repetitive, and it makes portioning easy whether you are feeding ten or a few hundred.

Crowd-pleasers for kids and vegetarian guests
Mixed groups are exactly where the right sides earn their keep. Chicken karaage is a perennial favourite with children, while edamame and agedashi tofu give vegetarian guests proper, flavourful choices rather than an afterthought. Because the range spans familiar comfort food and lighter plant-based picks, you can build a selection that quietly looks after everyone at the event without anyone feeling left out.

Occasions and dietary notes
These sides slot neatly into office lunches, family celebrations, birthday parties, and large festive functions where variety matters most. Every dish is prepared No Pork No Lard, and we clearly flag vegetarian-friendly options so you can plan around guest needs. Please note that while we are strictly No Pork No Lard, Sushijiro is not halal-certified.
