Our Heritage

Born from the heart of Tokyo's kitchens.

Umami Kitchen began as a small gathering of friends in a quiet corner of Shibuya. Our mission was simple: to strip away the intimidation of "fine dining" and return to the roots of honest, home-cooked food.

We specialize in Washoku (traditional Japanese cooking) adapted for the busy modern lifestyle. From selecting seasonal ingredients at the local market to the meditative art of plating, we guide you through every step.
