Tucked away within The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali, Hamabe Japanese Restaurant offers an authentic dining experience that blends tradition with modern sophistication. Following a recent transformation, the restaurant now exudes a seamless fusion of contemporary design and tranquillity, setting the stage for an immersive culinary journey.
Guiding the kitchen with expertise and passion is Chef de Cuisine Edwin Sta Ana, whose impressive career spans years of experience in top-tier establishments. A key player in launching three Nobu locations, Chef Sta Ana has mastered the art of Japanese-Peruvian fusion. His time with the Ritz-Carlton brand refined his approach to contemporary Japanese cuisine, and his culinary prowess has even been showcased at major international soccer events, where he catered to VIPs and elite athletes.
Dining at Hamabe is an experience in itself. The teppanyaki counter provides a lively spectacle as chefs expertly prepare dishes before an enthralled audience. Precision and craftsmanship are on full display at the sushi and sashimi counter, while the robata grill infuses dishes with the distinct smoky flavours of Japan’s Sendai region. For those who enjoy a hands-on approach, the shabu-shabu experience invites guests to cook premium ingredients tableside in a bubbling hot pot.
What sets Hamabe’s shabu-shabu apart is its customisable broth selection, which allows diners to tailor their meal to their own preferences. Paired with an array of dipping sauces, like citrussy ponzu and rich sesame, every bite is a unique and flavourful combination. A selection of Japanese delicacies, from delicate tempura to expertly grilled robatayaki, rounds out the menu, ensuring a well-balanced and satisfying meal.
With its refined ambience, expert craftsmanship and commitment to authentic flavours, Hamabe offers an unforgettable dining experience, solidifying its place as one of the most exceptional Japanese restaurants on the island.
