Asako’s interior design and James’ menu development come together to create a Japanese-inspired experience, complemented by cat-themed ornaments and vegetable artwork by local artist Kat Chadwick. Their approach reflects a strong focus on sustainability and community, fitting naturally within the ethos of Nightingale Village.

Hansen’s urban planning team assisted Ima in navigating the planning process, allowing the co-owners to focus on their craft.

With both venues now licensed and a new mural in place, these spaces add a unique character to the precinct.
