Nonmi, inspired by the word nonbei (飲兵衛). The first part of the word non (飲ん) is derived from nomu (飲む), which means “to drink” in Japanese. Bei or Beh (兵衛) actually means soldier and it’s also a suffix to make verbs or nouns “personify”. Nonmi is the Momi version of nonbei.

JUKUSEI. TIME. PATIENCE.

Not all sushi is meant to be served the day it arrives.

At Momi Nonmi, our Jukusei (aged fish) program allows each fish to develop deeper umami, richer texture, and a more complex flavor profile through carefully controlled aging techniques.

This progression showcases how time transforms seafood—from delicate and clean to intensely savory and unforgettable. Every piece is prepared and served at what we believe is its optimal moment.

Featured in this tasting:
• Kinmedai (Golden Eye Snapper)
• Aji (Japanese Horse Mackerel)
• Hon Maguro Akami (Bluefin Tuna)
• Seasonal selections from our Jukusei program

A different way to experience sushi. One bite at a time.

Reservations available through the link in bio.

At Momi Nonmi, we celebrate both sides of sushi craftsmanship — pristine seasonal fish served at its peak, and carefully aged selections transformed through time and technique.

Some bites are clean and delicate.
Some are rich, deep, and intensely savory.

From silky otoro to our signature jukusei preparations, every nigiri is designed to highlight balance, texture, and character in its own way.

This is not just dinner.
It’s an experience built around patience, precision, and tradition.

Sake forward popup - An evening with the Sake brewer from Japan — May 14 (Thursday)

Seating Times:

6:00 PM & 8:00 PM

The evening will feature five premium sakes personally presented and poured by Yusuke Nakao, 7th-generation leader of Nakao Brewery and Manny Gonzales. Following the passing of his father, Tsuyoshi Nakao, he assumed the role of General Manager in 2025, continuing his family’s legacy with a foundation shaped by Tokyo University of Agriculture and experience across breweries, retail, and the National Research Institute of Brewing.

Manny Gonzales, International Wine & Sake Specialist from Southern Glazer’s Beverage Company, will guide the sake experience alongside Chef Chris.

This special event reverses the traditional format—sake leads, and each course is designed to follow and complement its expression.

A rare opportunity to explore the philosophy, craftsmanship, and evolution of Seikyo, Maboroshi through the perspective of the brewer himself.
