IZAKAYA
JAPANESE BAR
Izakaya is UMAI’s take on the classic Japanese food bar – held several evenings each month, by reservation only. On these nights, guests are invited to come solo or in groups, choose their arrival time, and order freely from a curated bar menu.
The dishes are small, intriguing, and often unfamiliar – crafted to complement Japanese alcohol like whisky, beer, sake, and even cocktails, just like you'd find at a late-night izakaya in Tokyo or Osaka.
The bar opens at 19:00 and closes at 23:00,
and you’re welcome to arrive at your convenience (With reservation)
– with one important note:
as always at UMAI – shoes off at the door.
