About
Koume Japanese Restaurant occupies a modest Plantation strip mall but punches well above its weight in authenticity and quality. Japanese owner-chef Mitsutoshi 'Toshi' Sekita runs the floor and kitchen himself, creating a distinctly personal dining experience that regulars describe as reminiscent of a neighborhood izakaya in Japan. The menu covers sushi, sashimi, and maki alongside cooked izakaya plates, offering breadth alongside quality. Signature rolls like the Koume Roll and Miami Heat Roll have become local icons, while Toshi's approachability and hospitality keep diners returning week after week. The restaurant's reputation extends to high-profile catering contracts, including a full sushi spread for the NHL's Florida Panthers.
