Mikuriya

Mikuriya presents Japanese dinner through the omakase tradition, in which the kitchen determines the sequence of the meal. The format places trust in the chef’s judgement and allows the menu to develop as a considered progression rather than a conventional list of individually selected dishes. The result is an intimate dining experience built around attention, precision and a sense of discovery.

The restaurant centres on a counter where dishes are prepared in front of the diners. This arrangement brings the preparation into the dining room and creates a direct connection with the cooking. Omakase at Mikuriya is both an evening meal and an insight into Japanese culinary practice, with the counter serving as a place to observe technique, ingredients and presentation at close range.

The cuisine combines sushi with kappo-style preparation, including carefully handled seafood, eggs and meat. Seasoning is deliberately restrained, allowing the natural character of the ingredients to remain prominent. Sushi receives particular focus, with the cooking and assembly treated as part of a broader Japanese dinner rather than as a standalone casual meal.

Drinks can extend the meal with selected sake, shochu and Japanese beer. Sake is a natural match for the restaurant’s light approach, complementing the subtle flavours without overwhelming them. The overall style is refined but interactive, with the chef’s choices shaping the pace and content of the experience.

Located at The Dolder Grand on Kurhausstrasse 65, Mikuriya offers a distinctive counter-dining setting in Zurich. The format suits diners looking for a focused Japanese meal, an occasion built around culinary craftsmanship or a closer understanding of omakase. With only a small number of counter places available for individual bookings, the atmosphere remains intimate and attentive. The restaurant also accepts enquiries for exclusive use, making it suitable for private celebrations or carefully planned group occasions.
