Nagomi

Nagomi occupies a small counter room on Rue de Zurich in Geneva, with twelve seats arranged so diners watch each piece of sushi and sashimi prepared directly in front of them. Chef Numabukuro Kenta runs the counter, and the restaurant is built around Edomae-style sushi rather than a long multi-course production.

The main fixed offering is the Nagomi Kaiseki, a CHF135 tasting menu that runs through grilled chicken skewers, a tofu fritter, chawanmushi, grilled black cod, an assortment of sushi, soup, and dessert. Beyond this set menu, the kitchen also serves a full à la carte list of nigiri, sashimi, maki, and grilled dishes, so the counter experience can be extended or adjusted piece by piece. Sake pairing is available for those who want it, and the restaurant pours a short list of Japanese and European wines, beer, and whisky alongside tea and soft drinks.

Nagomi is open for both lunch and dinner service Tuesday through Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday. There is no private room, so the counter and any additional seating operate as one space. The menu is not available in English, which is worth knowing in advance, particularly if dietary needs or ingredient questions come up mid-meal. Reservations are handled by phone or through the restaurant's website; given the small seat count, booking ahead is advisable for both lunch and dinner.
