The story
MURA is a contemporary Japanese restaurant at Fröhlichstrasse 39 in Zürich's Seefeld district, with 16 seats and a Gault&Millau score of 15 points for 2026. The kitchen serves bento boxes at lunch and a longer evening omakase.
Kenichi Arimura previously cooked at Sushi Shin and Edomae before opening his own restaurant here. Gault&Millau describes him as a chef who pursues perfection rather than the spotlight. The evening omakase runs to roughly ten courses, which makes the menu a sequence to follow rather than a list to order from.
The reviewer singled out cold somen noodles made from potato, served in chilled uma dashi with wasabi and pomegranate. A braised fig in dense sesame sauce also stood out, as did the sushi, particularly the wagyu and the toro. The meal ends with an airy matcha cheesecake served with yuzu sorbet.
