AMA Sushi

Located within Rosewood Miramar Beach, the Michelin-recognized AMA Sushi is a celebration of Japan’s Edomae tradition. Tucked away in what was formerly a private bungalow and named after the valiant Japanese women who swam the ocean to collect fresh seafood for their villages, AMA Sushi honors the Pacific Ocean’s bounty, offering a taste of both Japan and Santa Barbara’s coast from a classic, refined Japanese culinary perspective.   

AMA Sushi offers an intimate omakase experience centered around the restaurant’s 12-seat, pearlescent onyx sushi bar, with guests interacting directly with executive sushi chef Scott Yonamine, who encapsulates the understated, serene experience through his craft, honed after years of working in Japan, and presents omakase on his own handmade pottery.   

For those in the main dining room or heated patio, both traditional nigiri and larger specialty rolls and dishes are available, pairing the traditional art of sushi making with Montecito’s coastal chic approachability.
