Nagomiya

With slow-simmered Old Beijing lamb spine hotpot and fragrant spiced lamb skewers, Nagomiya in Shimogyo Ward's Kakimotocho draws diners seeking robust, authentic northern Chinese flavours.

The house signature, Old Beijing lamb spine hotpot, combines a deep, savoury broth with tender meat clinging to the bone, making it an ideal dish for lingering over on cooler evenings. Groups often gather around the pot to simmer additional ingredients, pairing the stew with succulent lamb skewers seasoned generously with aromatic cumin.

Beyond lamb, the menu features a varied selection of hotpots and fish preparations, including a fiery, flavour-packed Sichuan poached fish pot and a pleasantly tart pickled mustard green fish stew. Grazing on cold starters like century egg tofu and an assortment of grilled skewers alongside a cold beer makes for an unpretentious, deeply satisfying Chinese dinner.
