The restaurant said in an Instagram post on Monday that Dec. 20, 2025, will be its final day of service.
“It has been a remarkable journey filled with shared plates, warm conversations, celebrations, and moments that became part of our story. Each of you has shaped who we are, and we are deeply grateful for the decade we spent together,” it wrote in the post, as cited by AsiaOne.
“Thank you for your trust, your smiles, and your continued support. We hope to spend these remaining days together with you, just as we have for the past ten years. We will welcome you wholeheartedly until our very last service.”
The restaurant attributed the closure to the “challenges of current market conditions” in a statement to The Straits Times.
Terra Tokyo Italian was founded as an omakase restaurant by Japanese chef Seita Nakahara, who left the establishment in 2023.
The restaurant earned one star in the inaugural 2016 Michelin Guide but lost it the following year. It then reclaimed the distinction from 2019 to 2024 but missed this year’s edition, which was released in July. It remains a Michelin-selected establishment for its quality, however.
It was among 10 restaurants that lost their one-star status this year, according to the Business Times.
Eight of these venues have shut down within 2024 and so far this year. Several establishments that kept their stars have also ceased operations or announced their closures, including Alma by Juan Amador, Restaurant Euphoria and Esora.

Other Michelin-starred restaurants have undergone changes. Sushi Sakuta, a two-starred restaurant, will relocate from the Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore to Millenia Walk in November. Three-starred French restaurant Odette is being renovated and slated to reopen next month.
In the broader food and beverage scene in Singapore, some 3,047 eateries closed last year, the highest figure in the last 20 years, according to data from the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority.
The first 10 months of this year saw another 2,431 shuttered, of which 63% did not last more than five years, as noted earlier this month by Gan Kim Yong, Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry.
Many operators have pointed to rising rent and manpower challenges as major factors behind the wave of closures, according to Channel News Asia.
