Located in Miami Beach’s affluent South of Fifth neighborhood, Kosushi is known for its authentic yet contemporary take on traditional Japanese cuisine created by Michelin Star Award-Winning Chef George Koshoji.
From São Paulo, Brazil to the heart of the South Pointe neighborhood, Kosushi Miami marks the first international location for the Brazilian brand. In Japanese, ko means turtle as well as the excellence of number one, which is a good omen for the symbol of happiness and longevity. For the past 30 years, Kosushi has offered visitors a unique culinary experience by blending tradition with distinctive techniques and bold flavors, earning the restaurant a Michelin Star in Brazil for the past five years.
Kosushi Miami is the first international location, where guests enjoy traditional Kosushi dishes alongside exclusive Asian fusion dishes created for the Miami location. The artfully curated core menu shines a spotlight on a variety of sushi and sashimi as well as hot and cold dishes, signature selections, and maki specials. Guests can also imbibe on a carefully crafted selection of cocktails incorporating Japanese spirits as well as a sophisticated sake menu and rare Japanese whiskey collection that all pair perfectly with Kosushi Miami’s fare.

Kosushi strikes a delicate balance between elevated food, intimate ambience and impeccable service all combined in a sophisticated, one-of-a-kind dining room. The restaurant’s thoughtfully designed interior was conceived by award-winning Brazilian architect Arthur Casas, whose imaginative, honeycomb-like wood structure dances across the ceiling and interior walls. Inspired by Japanese carpentry, specifically the art of joinery where wooden structures are created without the use of glue or metal supports, this impressive, hand-built structure is a piece of fine art. Adding to the visual balance and harmony is the organic shape of the sushi bar anchored in the center of the dining room as an integral focal point. Guests are welcome to take a seat at the sushi bar where they can watch the magic happen as the chef and his team prepare Kosushi’s signature sushi dishes.”. Kosushi Miami’s overall design provides guests with a complete sensory experience rooted in Japanese culture, gastronomy and architecture, combined with a Brazilian touch through the furniture, fabric combinations and finishes.
Kosushi Miami is open Sunday from 6PM to 10PM, Tuesday through Thursday from 6PM to 11PM and Friday and Saturday from 6PM – 12AM. For more information, visit www.kosushimiami.com or follow @kosushi_miami on Instagram.
