Craft begins with technique • Behind every course is a series of thoughtful decisions that shape the final experience by @atsumerurestaurant

In Japanese, Atsumeru means “to gather” and “to collect.”

When selecting the name, Chef Devin was searching for a word that reflected a simple intention: to bring people together.

With time, the meaning deepened.

It came to embody the years spent gathering knowledge, experiences, ingredients, techniques, and influences that shaped his culinary perspective.

What began as an idea became a sketch.

What began as a sketch became a space.

Today, Atsumeru is the culmination of that journey, a collection of experiences shared through food, hospitality, and discovery.

Every guest who walks through our doors becomes part of that evolving story.
Thank you for being part of our journey. by @atsumerurestaurant

Everyone knows about @devindenzer’s incredible Japanese/Nordic-leaning tasting menu with Midwest roots at @atsumerurestaurant that is sure to be awarded a @michelinguide star when the new Chicago guide is released later this year.

However, many people may not know they finally have their liquor license and now have an outstanding beverage program. I recently got a taste of a few of their excellent cocktails in their downstairs lounge, and you can get these drinks along with other curated Cocktails, Wines, and Sakes alongside their full tasting menu Wednesday through Saturday.

The setting is relaxed, the drinks are great, the food is outstanding and the vibes are fantastic 😍🤤😍🤤😍

Here are the drinks my friend and I had on this visit:

Skär Punch: Red Berry Gin, Aperol, Rhubarb, Guava

Kiiro Sour: Shochu, Galliano, Melon, Ginger

Baltic Fog: Aquavit, Shochu, Manzanilla, Kukicha
