Umaya brings together Eastern and Western concepts — providing the serenity and simplicity of Japanese plates. We specialize in the ever-popular Japanese ‘street food’ & classic dishes. From the refreshing décor to the Asian comfort food & scent of the Izakaya grill, Umaya will delight your senses. Umaya brings a much-needed Izakaya presence to the nation’s capital. Izakaya restaurants are similar to tapas restaurants as they propel guests to share and enjoy their time together—always over a few drinks.

The seasonal menu will change every few months but hold fast to favorite staples.
