NATSUMI
www.natsuminyc.com
Natsumi thrives on juxtaposition, deriving inspiration from contrasting styles and tastes that blossom into something completely fresh. Blending Japanese and Italian culinary techniques and traditions, Executive Chef Haru Konogaya creates dishes that seem incredible in every sense of the word.
In each offering, initially disparate flavors come together with ease. The crisp crunch of rock shrimp encased in a delicate tempura batter harmonizes irresistibly with the accompanying spicy cream sauce. Gnocchi—an unexpected entrée within Natsumi's back-lit rice paper walls—conjures smiles of surprised delight with its umami-rich green tea-mushroom sauce.
An appropriately international wine and sake list has cheers of salud and kampairinging from walls of pale Japanese wood to the softly lit waterfall cascading under a gold leaf arch. From Japanese decór to Italian hospitality, Natsumi encompasses a global culinary vision seldom replicated—and even more rarely so successful.
