KATSUMI

1520 14th Street NW 

The Rhythm & Eats team has opened KATSUMI, a new Japanese restaurant in the heart of Logan Circle. The space is intimate and atmospheric, defined by soft lighting, subtle neon and thoughtfully curated Japanese-inspired artwork. KATSUMI focuses on high-quality sushi and shareable dishes served in a vibrant, composed setting. The restaurant is led by Michelin-starred chef Masaaki “Uchi” Uchino, with 2025 James Beard Semifinalist Andra “AJ” Johnson overseeing the dining experience as General Manager. The KATSUMI menu draws from familiar Japanese dishes, shaped with modern, traditional and unexpected touches. Highlights include Maki rolls, sashimi selections, hot dishes, and more. The beverage program introduces specially crafted cocktails, wine and a seasonally curated sake list. For more information, visit their website here.
