Description
The restaurant derives its name from half of the romanized word kosumosu (코수모수), a Korean reading for the cosmos flower.[1]
The restaurant was founded by Anh Sung-jae, a first generation Korean-American who immigrated to the United States at age 13. He drew upon his experience growing up in California, with the cuisines of not only Korean food, but also Japanese food, French food, and more.[1] The food served in the restaurant is a fusion of Korean and other culinary traditions and ingredients.[4][1]
After receiving a Michelin star its first year of operation, it closed and began the process of moving to Seoul, South Korea.[1] It opened there in 2017, and received two Michelin stars that year.[3] It opened its Hong Kong branch in 2022.
Its Seoul branch was awarded three Michelin stars for 2023 and 2024,[2] as well as appeared in Asia's 50 Best Restaurants in 2022 and was named The Best Restaurant in Korea 2023. After the conclusion of its partnership with its previous investor, it temporarily closed its Seoul branch in 2024 and is aiming to reopen in 2025 in a new location.[5]
