Hayama by WATAMI | Helms Design District

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.
