Located within The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali, Hamabe is a Japanese restaurant that offers an exceptional dining experience with authentic Japanese flavours. Recently renovated, the restaurant now boasts a contemporary design inspired by the tranquillity of a traditional Japanese garden.
One of the main highlights of Hamabe is its teppanyaki counter, where guests can witness the culinary artistry firsthand. Skilled chefs perform a theatrical display as they cook dishes right in front of the diners, creating a memorable and interactive dining experience.
Another culinary attraction at Hamabe is the Sushi and Sashimi counter. Here, guests can appreciate the precision and knife skills of the talented culinary team as they craft beautiful and fresh sushi and sashimi platters.
An exclusive feature of Hamabe is its robata grill, which introduces guests to the traditional cooking technique of robatayaki from the Sendai region in Northern Japan. Inspired by the communal cooking style of local fishermen, robatayaki involves slow-cooking various meats, seafood and vegetables over hot coals. This method retains the natural flavours of the ingredients, resulting in delicious and tender dishes.
The restaurant has recently launched its new shabu-shabu venue, offering a unique and delightful Japanese hot pot dining experience. Shabu-shabu, a traditional Japanese nabemono, combines high-quality ingredients, interactive cooking and a variety of flavourful condiments, promising guests an unforgettable culinary adventure.
Shabu-shabu is a popular dining style where thinly sliced prime beef and fresh vegetables are cooked in a flavourful dashi broth right at the table. At Hamabe, guests can indulge in a feast featuring premium ingredients carefully sourced for their freshness and quality. From succulent seafood to thinly sliced prime beef and farm-fresh vegetables, the menu allows diners to customise their dining experience according to their preferences.
One of the highlights of Hamabe’s shabu-shabu is the ability to personalise the broth. Guests can choose from a range of tantalising options, including rich broths and authentic Japanese varieties, ensuring that the soup base perfectly complements their selected ingredients.
To enhance the flavours even further, Hamabe offers a selection of savoury condiments. Dipping sauces such as ponzu, sesame and spicy chilli are available, allowing guests to elevate the taste of their chosen ingredients and create unique culinary combinations.
Interactive dining is at the heart of Hamabe, and the shabu-shabu experience is no exception. Guests have the opportunity to take control of their culinary adventure as they cook their preferred ingredients in the bubbling pot right at their table. The delightful aroma fills the air, and every perfectly cooked bite is savoured, creating memorable moments to be shared with loved ones.
In addition to the main attraction of shabu-shabu, Hamabe offers a variety of delectable side dishes. From crispy tempura to sushi and robatayaki, the menu provides an array of options to satisfy different cravings and ensure a well-rounded dining experience.
Whether indulging in the theatrical teppanyaki counter, savouring the artistry of sushi and sashimi, experiencing the traditional robatayaki grill, or embarking on a flavourful shabu-shabu adventure, Hamabe at The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali guarantees an authentic and memorable Japanese dining experience.
