About
Karyu opened in February 2026 in Miami's Design District as the American outpost of Tokyo's Michelin-starred Oniku Karyu, founded by Chef Haruka Katayanagi — a Michelin-recognized master of the wagyu-kaiseki tradition. Head Chef Hiroshi Morito, Katayanagi's protégé, relocated from Tokyo to Miami specifically to realize his mentor's vision. Karyu is the only restaurant in the United States to serve wagyu from the Ueda Chikusan farm in Hyogo (Tajimaguro breed) — a 12-seat counter that unites precision, omotenashi, and the energy of Miami.
Neighborhood & visiting
Karyu sits in Design District, one of Miami's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused kaiseki counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional kaiseki restaurants often close between service periods.
