In Japanese culture, there’s a concept called ichi-go ichi-e—”one encounter, one moment." The Japanese believe that every encounter is unique and will never happen exactly the same way again. It’s on this feeling that Coba is built.

Coba is a bridge between tradition and modernity. Contemporary Japanese cuisine, translated into the language of the city: vibrant, dynamic, and constantly changing. Traditions aren’t copied here, but reimagined, becoming relevant and vibrant today.

The restaurant’s history began in 2021 with a small sushi bistro on Novaya Square. Hand rolls were the centerpiece: warm rice, crispy nori, and high-quality seafood. In 2023, a flagship restaurant opened on Malaya Dmitrovka. The space became larger, the menu deeper, and the format broader. We now offer shared dishes, signature dishes from the chef, a well-thought-out wine list, and cocktails.

Today, Coba is a brand of the BarRestoGroup restaurant group, living in two rhythms. On Lubyanka Street, it’s fast, bright, and dynamic. It’s a format for a city on the move: when it’s important to eat deliciously here and now, without compromising on quality or atmosphere. It offers light, modern street food with attention to every ingredient. On Pushkinskaya Street, it’s a completely different experience. People come here for the atmosphere, warm conversations, and leisurely evenings.

The different formats share one thing: respect for the product, attention to the guest, and the preciousness of the moment. Because every meeting here is ichi-go ichi-e.
