Zuma is a chain of Japanese Izakaya-style restaurants founded in 2002 by Rainer Becker and Arjun Waney. The first Zuma location opened in the Knightsbridge area of London, with a concept developed by Becker during his six years working in Tokyo, where he immersed himself in Japanese food and culture.[1] It is one of the five-starred restaurants according to the Michelin Guide.[2]

The restaurant features three kitchens: the main kitchen, the sushi counter, and the robata grill. Zuma has since expanded globally, with 14 permanent outlets and 8 seasonal locations in various cities worldwide.[3]
