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.

From Toyosu to Momi Nonmi. 🍣

Great nigiri begins with exceptional fish, careful selection, and respect for the ingredient.

Our Nigiri Omakase celebrates the natural character of each fish, with every piece prepared to highlight its individual flavor, texture, and seasonality.

For those who appreciate the depth of time, our Jukusei Nigiri Omakase explores the art of aging fish, developing deeper umami, refined texture, and a more concentrated expression of flavor.

Experience the art of nigiri at Momi Nonmi.

MOMI NONMI TAKEOUT.

There’s more than one way to express Japanese cuisine.

At Jūni, we embrace an explosive expression — bold, energetic, and contemporary.

At Momi Nonmi, we choose a different path.

We stay closer to tradition.

Exceptional ingredients.
Seasonality.
Proper technique.
Balance.
And respect for the ingredient itself.

For our takeout specials, I approach each dish much like I approach omakase — with Japanese culinary tradition as the foundation, allowing the quality of the ingredient to lead the way.

Two concepts.
Two expressions.
One passion for Japanese cuisine.

At Momi Nonmi,
we choose tradition.

ONE OF THE REASONS WE LOVE NEW ENGLAND.

The toro is naturally rich, fatty and buttery, so we don’t try to hide it.

I slice it, layer it over perfectly seasoned sushi rice, and let the fish speak for itself.

BLUEFIN TORO DONBURI
$67

A Momi Nonmi favorite.

Limited quantities.
Available for takeout while supplies last.

I don’t just want to serve you sushi.

I want you to experience the fish at its best — through seasonality, aging, technique, and the way I believe each piece should be enjoyed.

Welcome to Momi Nonmi.

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.
