The original Nagaya — a one-Michelin-starred Japanese-European fusion kitchen in Little Tokyo, where Yoshizumi Nagaya has spent two decades refining ingredient-led, French-inflected tasting menus.
Opened in 2003 and moved to Klosterstraße in 2009, Nagaya is the elder of the chef's two Little Tokyo restaurants and the more European-leaning of the pair — sushi and sashimi sit alongside fork-and-knife courses, wagyu, and a foie gras terrine roll with octopus tempura. Where Yoshi by Nagaya is a single fixed kaiseki, Nagaya runs several tasting-menu lengths and a lunch service most weekdays.
Modern, upscale, low-lit interior; a strong wine list alongside the sake. Good for a business dinner as much as a special occasion — reviews are consistently split on whether it or Yoshi is the better of the two, so pairing both on one Little Tokyo trip is worth it.
