About
Sushi Yasu Tanaka opened at MIA Market in the Miami Design District, bringing the mastery of Chef Yasu Tanaka — born in Yamanashi, trained at the Tokyo Sushi Academy, and formerly Master Sushi Chef at The Den at Azabu (Michelin) — within reach of a broader audience. The counter focuses exclusively on nigiri, crafted from fish delivered multiple times daily, using two different varieties of sushi rice prepared fresh every two hours. The Michelin Guide Florida lists the concept as a Selected restaurant.
