OUR STORY

BORN FROM A SINGLE MEAL IN KYOTO.

In 2009, our founder sat at a tiny counter in Kyoto and tasted something unforgettable. A bowl of dashi so clear and so deep it felt like the sea distilled. He spent three years learning. In 2013, he opened Umami.

We began with eight seats. We have never forgotten what that felt like. Every plate we send out carries the same intention: restraint, precision, and the quiet pursuit of something extraordinary.
