About
Edomae is named after the historic Edo-era style of sushi from Tokyo Bay, and it is the only restaurant in Zürich offering a true omakase counter in this tradition. The intimate 8-seat bar at Talstrasse 62 near Paradeplatz puts guests face-to-face with the chef, who presents each course — from aged nigiri to seasonal kaiseki bites — based on the best available ingredients. Beyond the evening omakase, the restaurant also offers a lunchtime chirashi bowl and a casual afternoon Japanese tapas programme. Reviewers who have experienced Japanese cuisine in Tokyo regularly single out Edomae as Zürich's most authentic sushi expression.
