新しい目的地

There’s a saying in Japan, ‘Ichi-go ichi-e,’ which means, every moment is one-of-a-kind and something to be treasured. This is the philosophy of our neighbourhood restaurant FUMI, located in the centre of Brighton. A slow restaurant in a fast-moving city, FUMI is a place where flavours, service and interiors are harmonious — where new traditions are forged, and where delightful and restorative food encounters become nutrition for the soul. We are about capturing a moment in its finest simplicity.

A simple Japanese inspired menu driven by the seasons, our moods and by whatever is fresh and exciting in the moment. At FUMI, we source all our produce, meats and fish from small, local suppliers. Nothing is mass-produced or served out of season, with everything we create coming directly from the farm to your table. Our wines also come from small producers who are mostly natural and organic, and who care about their terroir and couple minimal intervention with maximum innovation. In the heart of Brighton, where a long storied old market once stood, each meal at FUMI is a celebration of bountiful harvests, beloved community, and our favourite pairing of food and friends. We hope you enjoy.
