Regulars return for the opening barrage of textured bites—a crisp squid ink pie tee, potato topped with wagyu, and buttery abalone toast. The progression shifts toward substantial seafood and pasta, from silky chawanmushi and delicate crudo to folded agnolotti and sweet marron. Floor staff pace each course with detailed dish run-downs and selections from an extensive sake list, carrying the meal through to a clean finish of roasted pear and cacao.

Frequently Asked Questions
What style of dining and menu structure can I expect?
LuMi serves a multi-course degustation that blends Italian and Japanese culinary traditions. The experience opens with an intensive progression of approximately eight distinct bite-sized snacks (such as potato & wagyu and abalone toast) before moving on to savory mains, pasta dishes like agnolotti, and desserts.
How long does the tasting menu take, and what is the pacing like?
Plan for an unhurried multi-course meal lasting between 2.5 to 3 hours. Snacks typically arrive quite rapidly at the start of the dinner, with a more relaxed interval leading into the savory main courses. If you prefer a slower pace from the beginning, mention it to your server early on.
Do I need to book in advance, and what seating options are available?
Yes, LuMi accepts reservations and tables can book out well in advance, particularly for peak dinner seatings and special occasions. When main dining tables are fully booked, bar seating overlooking the open kitchen may be offered.
