Zuma’s brand new look Take a look inside the newly re-designed Japanese restaurant
T
he popular contemporary Japanese restaurant Zuma, located in the prestigious Landmark building, has had a makeover! The restaurant’s concept, which originated in London, is the brainchild of award-winning cofounder and creator Rainer Becker and the Waney family. Throughout Zuma’s 16 years of success, locations have opened in major cities including Rome, New York, Dubai and Hong Kong, where it has been a customer favourite for 11 years. To celebrate being part of the city for over a decade, Zuma has redesigned their current 2-storey location. Working with their longterm Tokyo-based design partner Noriyoshi Muramatsu over the summer period, Zuma’s refresh showcases a modern design that is
simultaneously warm and encompassing. Taking inspiration from Zuma’s menu, the new design is fresh, timeless and has a unique combination of traditional Japanese culture and contemporary innovation. The restaurant is full of earthy, natural tones with a strong influence of wood which contrasts against the signature stone counter and soaring glass walls, giving the space a unique touch. Noriyoshi believes; “nature, tradition, and human warmth are the essence of the timeless design that so effectively summons all things Zuma, it is these principles which I focused on when redesigning Zuma Hong Kong.” The kitchen has also been upgraded with state of the art equipment, to add more seasonal dishes to their a la carte menu. Their Japanese izakaya inspired menu has won the hearts and
stomachs of many diners, featuring a range of sushi, meat and vegetable dishes, all beautifully presented. The lounge, which is a hot-spot for partygoers around the city, offers 40 varieties of sake and an extensive cocktail list. Throughout the week visitors can enjoy tunes from top DJ’s in the city and on Saturday night’s Zuma will host the city’s one and only night brunch! In collaboration with Zuma Restaurant.
