Inspired by craveable Japanese street food, Kumi serves up inventive dishes like Japanese tacos and sushi snacks that are shareable, handheld and easy to enjoy thanks to the concept's delivery-focused model. The Japanese-inspired nori taco and sushi concept is the newest concept from Creating Culinary Communities' ever-growing empire and it is being introduced in Los Angeles, Costa Mesa, Oakland and Chicago with more locations soon to follow.
At Kumi, menu items like chuka seaweed salad, chirashi bowls and plant-based truffle avocado onigiri are served in carbon-neutral takeaway containers.
Kumi will be opening a full-service brick-and-mortar location in NYC this summer and it promises to help people in the city get a taste for Japanese-style street food crafted for the modern palate.
