Shinji by Kanesaka, a 1-Michelin star sushiya located at the Carlton Hotel and The St. Regis, celebrated 12 years of sharing the traditional edomae dining experience in Singapore with a $110,276 donation to the ST School Pocket Money Fund by way of its well supported golf fundraiser.
First mooted in pre-Covid-19 2020 by the Shinji owner Mr Ong Kian Min to celebrate its 10th anniversary, the original idea to hold a golf tournament for its valued customers evolved into a bolder plan early this year to celebrate the resilience and empathy shown by all Singaporeans through Covid-19, particularly those kindred spirits in F&B. It embodied the concept of playing golf, eating well and doing good at the same time.
44 golfers, each donating $2,000, enjoyed a game at the Serapong Course at the Sentosa Golf Club on 1st April, followed by a specially curated omakase dinner at Shinji over at the Carlton Hotel.
"The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund is a befitting charity - we are in the business of feeding people and what better way to show our gratitude for this continued privilege than to help, in our small way, to feed the children who need recess pocket money," Mr Ong shared.
