The First Timer’s Guide To Eating In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation
"Unlike other upscale cocktail spots in the area, Kumiko doesn’t have velvet curtains or decorations that should come with “do not touch” signs. The intimate, pristine space is ideal for anniversary drinks, or relaxed hangs with people whose default speaking voice sounds like they regularly lead guided meditations. The attention to detail starts with menus designed like carefully crafted zines and extends to creative cocktails like a bold-yet-light Old Fashioned with green tea, and dishes like a crispy wagyu katsu sando with pillowy milk bread.

New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - john ringor, adrian kane, nick allen, veda kilaru, sam faye
