excellent place!!!
May 27, 2009Was walking around cuppage plaza to decide on which jap restaurant to eat..and my bf suggested that we go inside this place...looks pretty nice on the outside..there ain't a signboard, but there was a notice saying that they dont have a menu, food is served based on the seasons...
we went in, and the ambience was so pretty..warm lights, sitting on the floor, reali like mini japan!! it is a pretty small shop though...so if u r going, make booking!!
the boss is a japanese and he came to introduce about their no menu system. he was very thoughtful, asked if there were any food/fish we do not eat, what we would like to have....since it was our first time there, we decided to let the boss decide...he planned for us about 7 dishes (if I din rmbr wrongly).
1. tofu salad - fusion of jap & chinese style delicious!!
2. sashimi platter - 5 diff fishes, 1 scallop & sea urchin ( the fishes are not often eaten in normal jap restaurants!)
3. grilled fish
4. braised black pork
5. fried fish - tempura (silver fish)
6. soba
7. dessert!! choice of yuzu, green tea & black sesame.
*adding to the fact, he took the effort to tell us the names of the dishes including the fishes in the sashimi platter!!
note: their ingredients are air-flown every MOn, wed & fri! so its so fresh!! u can go any day!! they close on sunday thou~
the waitress (only one) was really nice too..we asked to try sake and her recommendation was excellent!!
Money worth spending: about $90/pax
aniwae...we went back a second time abt a mth later!
the waitress could still rmbr us! we felt really welcomed.
this time round, we knew what we wanted and we ordered...well well the food did not fail us again...it was excellent!!!
my bf & his frenz had a gd time drinking the shoju & sake!!!
it is a real nice place to eat, drink & chat!
Money worth spending: about $125/paxMust Tries

Good Omakase Place, but Perfect 10?
Jul 4, 2009We decided to visit Nagomi after refering to HGW for a good Omakase place. We know of a good Omakase in Cuppage Plaza but Perfect 10 at Nagomi?
I have to admit that ambience was cosy, relaxing and the service is good. The food was fresh, impressive until the grilled beef loin arrived. It was too tough. We had 5 mains per person and it takes 1.5 hours to serve. We need to catch a next appointment and we ended up rushing Chef Nada ( with apologise).
Maybe I need to allow at least 2 hours to reach a perfect 10 experience?

Hits the right spot
Sep 18, 2009My hubs and I came here to celebrate our anniversary. I was supposed to be buying an inexpensive dinner (too easy to buy an expensive one) that won't break my bank.
I selected this place because of the reviews but also because its at Cuppage (I mean, with the high Japanese traffice duh!).
We sat at the counter and was served immediately with small appetisers. Nada (can't remember his name so let just say it is) asked if we'd like something to drink. My hubs and I are fans of Sake. So I told him i'd like "not so sweet, not so dry" Haha. However, he selected something that hit the right spot. Sake is $23/ 200ml. My hubz had Sapporo biru on draft. Awesome! Brought back memories of my sapporo holiday.
Nada told us about omkase meal and we were assured that it would costs between $70 - $100/ person. We had:
1) Salad - good sauce but maybe its something a good japanese homemaker could replicate.
2) Sashimi - yellowtail, scallop, tuna belly, uni and one more but I can't remember the name. All fresh but tuna belly is not of the best cut.
3) Grilled Sanma whole(think that mackeral pike) - simple yet fresh. Think it was marinated by just salt.
4) Kurobuta stew (sorry don't know the correct name) - I don't eat pork but I had to try it as it looked melt in your mouth and I couldn't let my hubz have all the fun.
5) Grilled yellowtail cheek - I'm still smaking my lips. Its once again marinated with salt and grilled perfect.
6) Porridge - Good but I've had better in Niseko.
7) Yuzu ice-cream - My fave japanese flavour ice cream with orange peel bits. It nicely cleanse my palate to end my meal.
In the end, I spend approx $288 for a meal for 2, 3 servings of sake and 1 Sapporo biru on draft. All within budget.I also recommend this place for

The perfect corner in Cuppage
Feb 22, 2010Nagomi 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.

Nice place for dining and drinking
Feb 2, 2010Very cozy place to be. Perfect for some after work drinking. But given the limited seating of the place, reservation is recommended. No complain for the food.I also recommend this place for

Very impressive place to be!
Jan 18, 2010A great place for food & drinking. If you are a drinker, this restuarant suit you most. As it serve a wide range of shochu, sake and plum wine. Even if you dont drink, the food is delicious. This is a perfect place for regular because you wont get tired of the same old menu, as the master of this restuarant change thier menu daily.
Opps! One more tip, go there early, as when the master is free,he often can come and talk to us and drink with us and exchanging culture and jokes... Very nice and funny guy to be with. hee..
The food that i will top list 5 will be: 1)Japanese Wagyu beef steak 2)Sashimi 3)Grill fish 4)Chicken congee 5)Fish rice ball
Give it a try, as this is my most preferred restuarant to dine. Great place to share.

Awesome! Scored full marks in everything(Same as last post)
Jun 13, 2009Okay, after seeing mtom's review i went to try it. It was a big eye-opener for me! WOW!!! It was really so ever fantastic. Okay, the ambience is great. How about the food and beverages??
Food was equally as good as the ambience. I tried a slice of the sashimi. Omg~ It was like.... you can't describe the feeling but it is just so fresh and great. I also tried the tofu salad that mtom said. Okay, it was equally as good. But i longed for that Black pork mtom was saying so i got it. I put it into my mouth and... OOH!!! It was so ever delicious!!! I feel its just money worth spending. Service was also great. I give it a 40/40 overall! Well, i don't know what are you readers favorites so just... yep? Try it and tell me. You'll never know would you like it better or hate it till you die.Must Tries
