Tokyo’s Michelin-starred artistry arrives stateside with KARYU, the US debut of Oniku Karyu, created in partnership with Spicy Hospitality Group and led by Chef Haruka Katayanagi’s team of proteges from Japan. This intimate twelve-seat omakase experience in the Miami Design District honors the timeless tradition of wagyu kaiseki, where seasonality, precision, and balance guide a multi-course journey. At KARYU, wagyu is treated as a philosophy, with Tajimaguro cattle sourced exclusively from Ueda Chikusan, a family-run ranch in Hyogo Prefecture, making KARYU the only restaurant in the United States to feature wagyu from this esteemed farm. From delicate nikusui broth and an elevated chateaubriand to traditional sukiyaki and seasonal kakigori, each course reflects both heritage and innovation, complemented by a crafted sake and wine program designed to enhance the depth and nuance of richly marbled beef. Designed by Rockwell Group, the space blends white oak, cedar-inspired millwork, indigo textiles, and terrazzo floors in a sophisticated material palette that captures wabi-sabi sensibility while embracing Miami’s contemporary cultural energy, resulting in a transportive dining experience defined by artistry and omotenashi.
