This restaurant opening marks the first U.S. location for WATAMI Group, one of Japan’s most established restaurant organizations, operating more than 500 locations across Asia. This debut represents a meaningful cultural and generational bridge. The concept is led by longtime restaurateur Chef Frank “Toshi” Sugiura, alongside his daughter Ichigo Sugiura, as they usher a new generation into the family business.

Hayama by WATAMI focuses on honest, high-quality Japanese cuisine and a warm, welcoming atmosphere designed to become a reliable go-to for everyone looking to gather around a meal or meeting friends for an after-work drink. Hayama offers a place to settle in and stay awhile, with a beverage program that complements every type of celebration.
