YUME

In the vibrant heart of Auckland Central, YUME offers an unforgettable taste adventure through Japanese cuisine. Guided by Executive Chef Jun, YUME's eclectic menu captures the unique flavours of Japan. Jun sources the freshest local ingredients, crafting dishes that honour traditional Japanese flavours while introducing exciting new tastes. The lively izakaya menu, brimming with aquatic delights, is available every evening, Monday to Sunday.

YUME's menu caters to diverse preferences. It ranges from 'izakaya small share' – bite-sized delights like skinny fries, edamame beans, kara-age chicken, and tempura prawn – to 'raw & sashimi' – a fresh assortment of sashimi and other raw treats. Notable dishes include Tokyo chicken wings, a novel take on a poultry favourite, and beef yukke tartare, a culinary adventure for the bold. For those with a sweet tooth, YUME's expanded dessert selection features tempting treats like soy pudding with yuzu sorbet and black sesame ice cream.

YUME is more than a culinary destination – it's a sensory feast. As the Urban List proclaims, YUME is "heaven...a place on earth, albeit different from your typical idea of paradise. Here, edamame, teriyaki, and beef tataki replace the usual rainbows and waterfalls". This delectable culinary escapade leaves no room for disappointment.
