Fine Dining, Upscale Casual
Part of Aman New York
Aman’s Japanese restaurant concept, Nama, brings the unique washoku heritage to Aman New York.
Meaning ‘raw’, Nama combines the principles of washoku
(the Japanese culinary tradition now recognised on Unesco’s
Intangible Cultural Heritage list) with the finest seasonal
ingredients available locally. Nama’s exquisite dishes are
thus true to the age-old preparation techniques of the
Japanese kitchen, but imbued with a strong sense of place.
Although the approach of the Nama kitchens remains consistent across the world – the freshest produce of the season, simply and beautifully prepared – its menus are shaped by the locale.
