About the Business
Umami Kushi was founded by African American culinary craftsman Harold Sexton. Inspired by his deep affinity for Japanese food culture and training, Harold introduced Seattle to authentic scratch-made Okazu Pan—lightly fried, panko-crusted yeast dough filled with rich savory curries, slow-braised meats, and seasonal vegetables.
Operating in Rainier Beach near Seward Park, Umami Kushi exemplifies cross-cultural culinary innovation and local business grit. Supporting Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.’s international focus on “Building Our Economic Wealth,” Harold mentors local youth in artisanal baking and extends an exclusive Sisterhood Advantage to visiting members.
Renowned for beef curry okazu pan, black bean and corn curry buns, yuzu roasted chicken pan, and custom beignets, Umami Kushi is an artisanal favorite during June Black Dollar Days. Food lovers can visit the Rainier Beach bakery or order pastry boxes online.
