June reservations are now open, and with summer just around the corner, there is still time to experience our Spring Menu!

Since opening in 2019, our chefs have never repeated the same seasonal menu twice - each spring is a completely new expression inspired by the seasonal flavors of Japan. We invite you to join us before the season comes to a close.

Meet the Dekopon—Japan’s prized mandarin, instantly recognizable by its signature crown. In the U.S., it’s known as Sumo Citrus, a nod to the topknot-like bump that gives this fruit its character.

This spring, we celebrate its vibrant sweetness in a delicate dessert: paired with sage ice cream, apricot kernel foam, and a gentle drizzle of honey. Bright, aromatic, and quietly complex—each bite captures the essence of the season in full bloom.

Uonuma Shiitake — grown in the snowy mountains of Niigata. Nurtured by pure snowmelt, these mushrooms are prized for their bouncy texture and deep, rich umami — on another level from your everyday shiitake.

The spring harvest, known as haruko, offers an even more pronounced aroma and a richer, more layered flavor than its autumn counterpart. For our spring menu, chef lightly marinates it in dashi, then grills it over binchotan. Simple, precise, and all about letting this rare seasonal ingredient shine.

Our Fall Menu opens with a trio of small bites — the chef’s interpretation of sakizuke, the opening course in a traditional kaiseki meal. Designed to awaken the palate, this course sets the tone for what’s to follow.

Each bite highlights a harmony of textures and seasonal flavors: Salt-cured sanma on a crispy potato wrapped in shiso leaf; Mochiko tartlet with Fujisan salmon, house-made tofu, and marinated ikura; Miyazaki Wagyu maki with pickled kohlrabi and fried kombu. A prelude to the season’s colors and an invitation to the journey ahead.

What people say

Japanese restaurants are known for their exquisite cuisine, attention to detail, and unique dining experiences. Tsukimi, located on E. 10th Street in New York, is no exception. This modern take on kaiseki offers a culinary journey that is sure to delight the senses.

One of the standout features of Tsukimi is their use of seasonal ingredients.

Additionally, their beverage pairing includes Nanbu Bijin’s All Koji, a unique creation from Iwate prefecture that perfectly complements their uni & caviar course.

The attention to detail extends beyond just the food and drink offerings at Tsukimi. The Aori Ika from Ōita with nori and pickled kumquat showcases Chef's finely cut pieces of squid that improve its texture and flavor. The magical nori chip and pickled kumquat add an extra layer of complexity to this already delicious dish.

Overall, Tsukimi offers a dining experience that is not only delicious but also visually stunning. From the carefully crafted dishes to the beautiful Japanese lacquerware used for serving, every aspect of this restaurant has been thoughtfully considered. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience in New York City, look no further than Tsukimi on E. 10th Street.
