About
Kazumi Modern Japanese was the first restaurant in the Ke-uH family, predating both the Weston and Sunny Isles Beach locations and establishing the Latin-Japanese fusion format that has since become one of South Florida's most distinctive culinary identities. Located in Key Biscayne's Crandon Boulevard commercial strip, Kazumi serves the island's well-traveled resident community with a menu that executive chef Oscar Noborikawa — fourth-generation Japanese, 14 years at Nobu Miami — has honed over years of collaboration with founder Carlos Delfino. The kitchen's robata grill adds smoky depth to sushi-bar classics, while signature rolls like the Caco Roll and Honeymoon Roll have become island favorites. Lunch service Monday to Saturday makes Kazumi one of the few upscale Japanese restaurants in Miami to serve midday.
