Kumihimo

The space is elegant and understated: dim lighting, minimalist decor, and subtle nods to Japanese craftsmanship create an atmosphere that’s serene yet sophisticated. It’s the kind of place where every detail—from the placement of a ceramic dish to the arc of a cocktail pour—feels intentional. The menu is a celebration of Japanese cuisine reimagined through a contemporary lens. Expect beautifully plated sashimi, dry-aged Wagyu, and seasonal creations that highlight both imported and local ingredients. Signature cocktails and curated sake pairings round out the experience, making each visit feel like a curated tasting event. Behind the scenes, chefs like James Loreno and Takanori Tanaka bring decades of global experience to the table, blending precision with creativity. Kumihimo, nestled within the JW Marriott Hanoi at 8 Đỗ Đức Dục, Nam Từ Liêm, is a modern Japanese restaurant where culinary artistry meets cultural storytelling. Named after the traditional Japanese art of cord braiding, Kumihimo weaves together flavors, textures, and experiences into a refined dining journey that feels both intimate and elevated. What makes Kumihimo truly special is its philosophy of connection—between people, cultures, and the stories behind each dish. It’s not just a meal; it’s a quiet, luxurious moment that lingers long after the last bite.
