dining room & bar
Seasonal Japanese cuisine and thoughtfully crafted beverages.
Cocktail for a Cause
A cocktail can't change the world, but the people who share it can.
Winning Element
mijenta blanco tequila, fidencio mezcal clasico, black currant, shiso, albariza oloroso sherry, lemon, fever-tree ginger beer
Families across this country’s immigrant communities are facing rising fear and uncertainty.
Under the shadow of heightened ICE aggression, safety is no longer a given. It’s a daily struggle.
Community support has never been more vital.
Kumiko stands in solidarity, donating $5 from each cocktail for a cause sold to ICIRR, a trusted organization providing emergency legal aid, advocacy, and essential resources.
In times like these, we must show up for one another.
Choosing care over silence is how we make a difference.
Every act — even a drink served — is a chance to stand for what’s right.
