    Nomikai

    Where Japanese Craft Meets Las Vegas Spirit

In Japan, Nomikai is where friends and colleagues meet up to socialize over food and drinks. Here, it’s an elevated sushi restaurant inspired by this beloved tradition.

Order To-Go

Whether it’s a quick bite or a late-night escape, Nomikai offers two distinct experiences in one place. Up front, the pace is fast and effortless at the counter—Tokyo-inspired handrolls, fresh poke, and crisp sake. Step through the hidden hallway, and the energy shifts. In the back, a dimly lit speakeasy sets the stage for premium sushi, rare Japanese whisky, and one-of-a-kind cocktails in an intimate after-hours atmosphere. At the helm? Twin chefs Nick and Jun An. Their precision, creativity, and passion for excellence shape every dish and elevate the experience from start to finish.

The Nomikai Whisky Flight

A rare journey through the soul of Japanese whisky
 

Experience four extraordinary whiskies that capture Japan’s mastery of balance, elegance, and depth. Thoughtfully curated for true enthusiasts, the Nomikai Whisky Flight moves from bright and expressive to smoky, opulent, and richly aged—each pour revealing a new layer of craftsmanship.

  • Yamazaki 12 Year opens the flight with iconic harmony, offering notes of orchard fruit, gentle spice, and Mizunara oak.
  • Hakushu 18 Year brings a refined, forest-driven character, blending soft peat smoke with herbal freshness, citrus, and honey.
  • Hibiki 21 Year delivers luxurious complexity, unfolding caramel, vanilla, sherry, and oak in a seamless, poetic blend.
  • Sato Shiki 41 Year, exceptionally rare and deeply aged, concludes the experience with profound richness—dark chocolate, dried fruit, and silky oak lingering long after the final sip.

Together, these whiskies create a compelling exploration of Japan’s most revered expressions—an elevated, contemplative tasting designed for those who truly appreciate the art of whisky.
