About Us
Welcome to Umami Square, your premier destination for authentic Japanese cuisine delivered right to your doorstep. We were founded with a dual purpose in mind: to satisfy the cravings of Japanese food enthusiasts across the nation and to support the vibrant Japanese food community, particularly during the challenging times brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
At Umami Square, we've crafted a unique platform that addresses these needs head-on. We invite both customers and operators to join us in reimagining how Japanese cuisine can be enjoyed and shared. By doing so, we not only cater to the culinary desires of our customers but also contribute to the sustainability of businesses within the Japanese food industry.
Our Journey
Our story began with the transformation from JAPAN Fes, New York, one of the largest Japanese food events in the United States, into Umami Square. With the unfortunate suspension of the festival due to the pandemic, we recognized the urgent need to support Japanese vendors and foster a sense of community within the food industry. Thus, Umami Square was born, as a platform dedicated to connecting Japanese cuisine lovers with a diverse array of authentic dishes from across the country.
Our Mission
Our mission at Umami Square is simple yet ambitious: to deliver "Real Japanese Meals" nationwide. No matter where you are, if you're craving the flavors of Japan, we've got you covered. From traditional ramen and savory yakitori to fresh sashimi and delectable desserts, we bring the essence of Japanese dining straight to your home.
