Why You’ll Love It

Kumiko brings the Japanese tradition of dining bars to Chicago, masterfully led by Julia Momosé, who won Michelin's Exceptional Cocktails Award in 2022. The space is minimalistic in design, with white walls, dark blue seating, and light wood accents that center the attention on their beautifully prepared dishes and cocktails made from some of the finest spirits in the world. The food and drinks here are deeply connected, with balance being the central theme. Kumiko has an a la carte food and beverage menu that are delicious, but the seasonal tasting menu is where this sense of balance, the chef's artful techniques, and cross-cultural influences truly shine.
