Mimi Kakushi

Mimi Kakushi evokes the era of 1920s Osaka, a time when jazz, modern art, and Western influences mingled with enduring Japanese traditions. The restaurant, located in Miami Beach, channels this specific period of cultural fusion, building a narrative that touches everything from the setting to the food. The name itself is a reference to the fashionable bobbed hairstyle of the time, a subtle marker of modernity. This theme is carried through an Art Deco aesthetic with elements like timber, rattan, and stained glass creating a warm, moody atmosphere that sets it apart from its coastal surroundings. The culinary offerings follow the same inspiration, applying contemporary interpretations to Japanese techniques. The kitchen harmonizes traditional flavors with Western touches, resulting in a selection of sharing plates that encourages a convivial style of dining. The kitchen has become known for inventive gyoza filled with wagyu and foie gras, as well as a popular black cod preparation. The selections are built to be explored, from sashimi and sushi to items from the robata grill. The beverage program is equally central to the restaurant's identity. The cocktail list is a storytelling device, with drinks designed to be a sensory and visual affair. One signature offering is a martini served within a block of ice at an exceptionally low temperature, a theatrical touch that echoes the establishment's immersive philosophy. Located within the Delano Miami Beach, the restaurant brings a concept honed at its acclaimed Dubai outpost to a new audience, creating an intricate world that balances Eastern tradition with the rhythm of the West.
