Nukumi （ぬくみ）

This sophisticated, modern Japanese hideaway is run by a chef who spent 15 years honing his craft at the long-established restaurant Araki.

Its greatest appeal lies in its interactive style of service: guests select their preferred ingredients from wooden boxes filled with freshly delivered fish and rare vegetables sourced directly from contracted farmers in Nagano and Shizuoka. They then discuss their desired cooking methods with the chef, creating a personalized dining experience. From charcoal-grilled fatty rockfish and blackthroat seaperch to exquisite clay pot rice and the final touch of Okazaki Ohan egg rice, the chef’s exceptional technique brings out the full potential of every ingredient.

The restaurant offers immersive counter seating where guests can enjoy the chef’s craftsmanship and conversation up close, as well as private rooms designed with comfort and privacy in mind.

A curated selection of sake—including the renowned Cho from Aichi Prefecture—and a diverse range of wines that pair beautifully with the cuisine make this an ideal destination for anniversaries, business entertaining, and other special occasions.

Enjoy a one-of-a-kind culinary experience where your own choices are transformed into a memorable dish.
