Kinmedai from Shizuoka, charcoal-grilled and served alongside Kamo Nasu, the heirloom eggplant from Kyoto celebrated as Japan’s “Queen of Eggplant.”
The delicate sweetness of Kinmedai meets the silky, deeply savory character of this prized seasonal eggplant.

On the pass: Awabi — Hokkaido abalone, delicately prepared as tempura and served with its rich liver sauce, a highlight of our Summer Menu.

Our team is back from our summer break, recharged and ready to welcome you back. Just a few more weeks of our Summer Menu before we turn toward Fall.
While our menu changes with the seasons, one dish has remained a constant: our egg dish. When Chef Akiyama first created it in 1999 at Lan Restaurant in the East Village, it was simply called “Scrambled Egg,” ifkyk. Since then, it has taken on many forms— —and even at Tsukimi, it has continued to evolve.
Our current interpretation brings together Hokkaido uni and Ossetra caviar, paired with a deeply savory nori sauce and velvety oyster chawanmushi. Nearly three decades later, the egg lives on.

A glimpse into our Summer Menu team tasting.
Before each season reaches your table, our chefs and service team come together to taste, learn, and explore every dish and pairing. From the kitchen to the dining room, these moments of sharing and discovery help us tell the story behind each course—and bring the experience to you with intention.
We will take a brief intermission from August 13th through August 23rd to give our team a well deserved holiday. Summer Menu continues when we return!

The final bite of summer.
Our seasonal wagashi features delicate lemon kanten—a traditional agar jelly—layered with smooth white bean and a touch of olive oil. Light, bright, and the perfect ending to a summer evening.
This is our last week of service before we take a brief intermission to give our team a well deserved holiday. Summer Menu continues when we return on August 26th!

A hallmark of summer in Japan, hamo is prepared using honekiri, a centuries-old technique that transforms its fine bones into an exceptionally tender bite.
In place of the traditional ume pairing, Chef Akiyama complements its delicate sweetness with rhubarb jam. Served alongside hand-stretched Inaniwa sōmen from Akita, the dish is a celebration of craftsmanship and summer.

Today, we turn SEVEN.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
Opening our doors in the summer of 2019, only to be met with an unexpected pandemic months later, was one of the greatest challenges we could have imagined. While the recovery continues, we never lose sight of how fortunate we are to have the unwavering support of our guests, friends, and family.
Over the past seven years, our Tsukimi family has made countless personal sacrifices to nurture and grow this little hidden gem in the East Village. We are endlessly grateful to every member of our team—past and present—whose dedication, heart, and belief in what we do have shaped Tsukimi into what it is today.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for dining with us, celebrating with us, and believing in us. Here’s to seven years—and to many more shared meals and memories to come.

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.

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. Their early summer menu features rhubarb sorbet, which is a must-try before the end of June when rhubarb season comes to an end. 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.
