About Karyu

Karyu is a ten-seat kappo omakase counter in the Miami Design District, marking the U.S.

debut of Tokyo's Michelin one-star Oniku Karyu. Chef Haruka Katayanagi and his Tokyo-trained team present a seasonally driven kaiseki tasting menu built around rare A5 kuroge wagyu, prepared course by course in front of guests at the counter.

The minimalist, intimate dining room sets a quiet, ceremonial tone far removed from a typical Miami night out, with staff walking guests through each course and the origin of its ingredients. Expect fine dining prices, at $100 and up per person, reservations through SevenRooms, and a pace built for savoring rather than rushing.

Brought to the neighborhood by Spicy Hospitality Group, it's a destination for a special-occasion dinner, an anniversary, or anyone chasing an authentic Ginza-style wagyu experience without leaving Miami.
