    Join us for an unforgettable evening at Kōjin, where tradition, craftsmanship, and culinary artistry converge. We're honored to welcome four esteemed sake brewers from Japan, each presenting two exceptional sakes from their renowned breweries. This rare gathering offers guests the opportunity to experience eight unique sakes, each thoughtfully paired with a course prepared by the inimitable Chef Pedro, whose fire-driven flavors are the perfect match for these celebrated brews. Meet the Brewers: 🇯🇵 Kotaro Saito – President, Saiya Brewery, Akita Prefecture Elegant, expressive sakes with depth and precision. 🇯🇵 Niichiro Marumoto – Toji, President, and Farmer, Marumoto Brewery, Okayama Prefecture A true grain-to-glass pioneer, crafting sake from rice he grows himself. 🇯🇵 Tsuyoshi Nakao – President, Nakao Brewery, Hiroshima Prefecture Innovators in ginjo-style sake, bringing complexity and clarity in every sip. 🇯🇵 Yasumasa Ogasawara – Toji, Kameizumi Brewery, Kochi Prefecture Master of small-batch, expressive sakes from the lush lands of Shikoku. Each course of this multi-course dinner is paired to highlight the character and nuance of these brewers' expressions—from bold and earthy to bright and floral. The brewers will be in attendance and available to speak with guests throughout the evening, with professional translators on hand to help guide the conversation and deepen your connection to each sake's story. Seating is extremely limited. Reserve early to avoid disappointment. Raise a glass with the brewers themselves and immerse yourself in the soul of sake—right here in the heart of the city.

    The reviews were spot on, my dinner was AMAZING! I had to try the tasting menu and it did not disappoint one bit! A wealth of delicious flavors, cozy intimate atmosphere, and personal touch from the owners and staff made this a truly memorable experience. The "Chef's Table" experience was top notch and totally worth it. The caviar course blew me away! When I am back in town, I will definitely be back for more. Thank you for being the highlight of my vacation!

    I'm a foodie--and I promise you will not be disappointed with this restaurant. It's one of the best in all of Miami. The meals are an insanely creative spin on traditional Japanese food. For dessert last time I was there (which is often!) I had a caramel fish sauce on tamarind cake and it was out of this world. Kojin also has a fun vinyl night at least once a week--great sounds but the music (gratefully!) does not overpower your conversation. The restaurant is chilly though--so bring a sweater or jacket!
    KojinResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you so much for this fantastic review — it truly means a lot coming from a self-proclaimed foodie! We're thrilled to hear how much you enjoy our creative take on Japanese cuisine, and that the tamarind cake with caramel fish sauce hit the mark — it’s definitely one of our favorite bold pairings. We’re also so glad you’ve been enjoying our vinyl nights; we put a lot of care into curating a vibe that enhances the experience without overwhelming it. Can’t wait to have you back again soon!

    Do the tasting menu! Food is amazing and the atmosphere was great. Upscale, but casual. And, they were playing some pretty good old school hip-hop and R&B in the background. Not too loud, though. This will be one of my new “go-to” spots.

    We tried almost everything on the brunch menu. Delicious food, great service. I especially liked the crudo, and the short rib. The bread in the Avocado toast and chile eggs were a little soggy, but that’s just me being ultra critical, it was packed with flavor too.
    KojinResponded 1 day ago

We truly appreciate your attention to detail, and we’ll certainly take note of your comments about the bread on the avocado toast and chile eggs.

    We enjoyed the largest tasting menu Kojin had to offer; we wanted to try everything. We din out a lot and often choose prefix as we love to experience the chef's choice. We had10-12 courses with 50% being either overly salted or covered in cream/butter which deferred from the protein or vegetables natural flavors. We particularly enjoyed the wagyu and small bites at the beginning; did not enjoy the beef tartar, grain course or chicken course. Disappointing by the glass wine list and absent zero proof beverage list, which was disappointing. The waitress was polite and knew the dishes well.
