Kumiko: A Japanese Dining Bar in Chicago

3122852912

Kumiko is a Japanese Dining Bar (ダイニングバー)* in Chicago, led by chef, creative director, and beverage visionary Julia Momosé. At Kumiko, food and drink are treated with equal reverence, each crafted with deep intentionality and care.

Guests can enjoy an à la carte menu of refined, ingredient-driven dishes alongside a distinctive seasonal tasting menu, which features four thoughtful pairing options: light cocktails, stirred cocktails, spiritfree, and Japanese sake.

Through Kumiko, Momosé hopes to expand the understanding of Japanese cuisine—showcasing its soulful breadth, from the elegant and delicate to the comforting and fried. It is cuisine that is both artful and everyday, reserved and expressive.

Whether you join us to savor some cocktails, or walk in for a lovely dinner with friends, Kumiko welcomes you with warmth and gratitude.

The dining room is currently open to guests 18 and older. Reservations are required for the tasting menu, and are strongly recommended for à la carte dining. We look forward to welcoming you with warmth and gratitude.
