| The perfect corner in Cuppage
Nagomi does Omakase in true Japanese style - just sit, order some sake, relax, chill and be served some really fresh, elegant dishes. This corner of Cuppage is a welcome respite from mainstream dining. You are taken away from the world for a while and into a small elegant izakaya-style place from Tokyo. The banter and the laughter fill the room with people enjoying their meals.
The salad we had to start was fantastic - chilled and really fresh ingredients with a wonderful sauce. The sashimi plate was simple and fresh and thoroughly enjoyable. They are known for their belly pork and wagyu beef slices. Very well done. We came a bit late so their whole alaskan crab for the evening was already gone - a realy pity!
They have a homemade chicken porridge which they serve at the end which is hearty and filling. We really enjoyed this and it was a comforting end to the meal.
Nagomi does not exactly come cheap, but neither is it expensive when compared with places like Nogawa and Tatsuya. It also has an unpretentious ambience and clientele unlike the above two restaurants. We'll be back.
