About
Chef Kenichi Arimura opened MURA (Fröhlichstrasse 39) in Zurich's upscale Seefeld neighbourhood as a personal homage to Japanese culinary tradition and a bridge to modern gastronomy. The interior is deliberately minimalist — warm wood tones, soft lighting, curated artwork — creating an atmosphere closer to a living room than a restaurant. Evening omakase menus trace a carefully considered culinary journey, while lunchtime brings fresh bento boxes and sushi. With very limited seating, early reservations are essential. MURA has become a quiet favourite among Zurich's Japanese cuisine cognoscenti.
Neighborhood & visiting
