Chicago | Go Eat Kumiko's Wagyu Sandwich❗️

Finally got to check out one of the top 50 bars in the US! Located in West Loop, Kumiko was founded by renowned bartender Julia Momose. Kumiko focuses on infusing 🎎Japanese cultural elements (sake/shochu/🍵matcha/yuzu) into modern 🍹cocktail art, achieving a perfect balance of Eastern and Western elements... 🍷: 🩷Sea Flower🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A must-order every time I visit! Gin + yuzu juice + yuzu shochu. It's so refreshing—I'd call it "liquid spring." Highly recommended! 🌸 🩷Cloud Hopper🌟🌟🌟🌟 Sake + passion fruit + oat milk + Yakult + 🍋lemon + green cardamom. An innovative combination with a lower alcohol content, it's a sweet and creamy drink, though a bit too creamy for my taste... 🍽️: 🩷Wagyu Katsu Sando🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I was truly amazed... A5 wagyu + truffle-infused 🍯honey + toast. An incredible combination! The toast is perfectly toasted, crispy and fragrant, and the wagyu melts in your mouth. One bite and you'll be hooked—definitely a must-order! 🍞 🩷Potato Salad🌟🌟🌟 What sets this apart from traditional potato salad is the addition of crispy chips, adding a rich layer of texture! However, the high amount of 🥕carrots gives it a strong carrot flavor. Not recommended for those who don't like carrots... 🩷Karage🌟🌟🌟🌟 Japanese-style fried chicken🍗, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! Served with a tangy, slightly spicy mayo sauce. 🩷Miso Soup🌟🌟🌟🌟 A savory and slightly sweet miso soup that warms you up from the inside out! It's also a great hangover cure! 🩷 🌟🌟 A dish recommended by the server, but I can't remember the name and it was pretty average... #RestaurantRecommendation #Top50BarsInNorthAmerica #Top50Bars2024 #ChicagoBar #ChicagoJapaneseFood #ChicagoEats #UniversityOfChicago #FoodieDaily #ChicagoLife #NorthAmericanLife
