About
Shinmai Kumo is the second restaurant from the Shinmai team in Cary, opening with a soft launch in early September 2025. Our menu centers on Itameshi (イタメシ) — a style of cooking that originated in Japan, blending Japanese ingredients, techniques, and sensibilities with Italian cuisine. The result is thoughtful, playful dishes that feel both familiar and new.
Following the success of Shinmai Shokudo, our first location in Cary, Shinmai Kumo continues our commitment to craft, hospitality, and bringing people together around the table — this time with a fresh perspective where Japanese and Italian traditions meet.

I love the other sister restaurant, Shinmai Shokudo, so I was excited to try this Japanese-Italian fusion restaurant. Food was great! We ordered the special appetizer they had and it was a smokey salmon and cream cheese and it was delicious. For our entrees, we tried the Chicken Curry Flatbread and the Unagi Avocado Flatbread and we enjoyed both! They were both pretty decently sized and I was able to take home half of my entree for leftovers the next day. Service was great and they seemed to take great care in making our drinks! Will definitely be back to try other items!

Shinmai Kumo just opened but executes food as if ifs been here for 30+ years and knows its stuff. Everything was done exceptionally well. The pizza crust is fluffy and crisp, pasta full of umami and savory meats, and the drinks are all thoughtful and refreshing. Highly recommend the sukiyaki linguine if you like egg. The matcha tiramisu dessert was my favorite.
It’s elevated comfort food that leaves you happy and full. This is a must try place if you enjoy Italian food - their take on it is so well done.
