Our Story
Arami’s cuisine is a product of traditional ingredients and forward thinking technique, with a focus on freshness and quality. Representing the culture and care taken in Japanese cuisine, Arami prides itself on bringing art and enjoyment to all dining experiences.
At Arami's entrance is a torii gate which is originally found outside of shrines, traditional in Japanese culture to mark a transition. It is for this reason that our sake bears the name: Ichi No Torii, that is, The First Gate. It was created to pair with our entire offerings and made exclusively for Arami- this sake is produced in collaboration with Omuraya Brewery in Shizuoka, Japan.
Visitors are greeted in the front lounge, where our bar displays our rare selection of sake, wine and spirits. The main dining room contains vaulted skylight ceilings that streams light in the early hours on the tabletops. The garden room, a smaller and enclosed dining area toward the rear of the restaurant, is an atrium-like space with an abundance of foliage and Japanese wood engravings, perfect for private dining or quiet conversations.
