About

Founded in 2016 by a Japanese-origin team and named after Azabu—one of Tokyo's most prestigious residential and dining neighborhoods—Azabuya has developed into a multi-city Japanese casual dining concept with seven branches across Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Shenzhen. The Pudong Kerry Town branch was among the earliest Shanghai locations and serves the brand's core menu of Japanese-style rice bowls, including the popular shiyu braised minced beef rice (¥25), Japanese spicy noodles, and the brand's signature matcha gelato, which has been called possibly the best matcha ice cream in Shanghai by Nomfluence. The brand also does galettes, crepes, and savory and sweet crêpe-style dishes rooted in Japanese tea-culture aesthetics. A relaxed, café-adjacent format makes it ideal for weekend dining and casual weekday lunches.
