Nagomi

Nagomi is a little gem of a restaurant that we stumbled upon randomly (our WiFi was down so no Unilocal to help us on our way). When we pulled back the sliding door and walked in the staff looked a bit shocked, we were wondering if we were welcome. But, after the initial awkwardness the friendly staff showed us to the table overlooking the chef. And we were relieved when, having anticipated doing animal impression and pointing to body parts to make our food order, a rather beautiful calligraphic English translation of the menu was produced.
Upon arrival you receive what I think was some kind of pickled plum, it certainly prepared the pallette… We ordered from the yakitori menu. I got the chef’s selection, which was 5 skewers each with a different part of the chicken (thigh, belly, knee cartilage, liver and heart). I also got okra, oyster mushrooms and finished it off with camembert with honey. The quality of the food was excellent. We had a couple of beers each and finished off the meal with a glass of plum wine. The meal, including drinks, came to about ¥4,200 per person (€ 30).
It was great watching the chef cook in front of you. But, the other tables also had there own little alcoves and looked very cosy :-)
