The story
At Nagomi, Chef Masahiko Numabukuro has built a reputation for authentic Japanese cuisine in Geneva. His sushi and sashimi are prepared with precision and passion, and the counter seating allows guests to witness the artistry firsthand. The restaurant's name, meaning "harmony," reflects the balance in every dish.
The kitchen covers the full spectrum of Japanese cooking: from delicate sushi and sashimi to tempura and hearty ramen. Starters like the creamy Ikauniae (cuttlefish with sea urchin paste) and the refreshing Kyuri to Wakame no Sunomono (cucumber and seaweed salad) set the tone. The Nagomi Kaiseki, a degustation menu at 135 CHF, showcases the chef's range with a sequence of small plates, grilled fish, sushi, and dessert.
The sushi counter is the heart of the restaurant. Nigiri options include bluefin tuna, fatty tuna, sea bream, salmon, and more. Gunkan holds such treasures as uni (sea urchin) and ikura (salmon roe). For those who prefer raw fish, sashimi platters feature the same impeccable quality. The Moriawase assortment at 52 CHF is a good introduction.
The dining room is simple and focused, with warm, professional service. The restaurant is open for dinner Tuesday to Saturday, with lunch service as well. Air conditioning, counter dining, and private event options are available.
Nagomi's consistent quality and dedication to authentic Japanese flavors have earned it a place in the Michelin guide, recommended for its excellence. It stands as a destination for those seeking genuine Japanese cuisine in Geneva.
