The Uchi experience begins and ends with art to curate a unique experience, whether it’s in the beauty of the fresh ingredients used, or the way the chefs build the flavors of each dish. Take the selection of makimono (variety of rolls). Just as an “Endo” is a wheelie on the front tire of a bicycle, the biendo maki is a sushi roll turned on its head. Instead of rice, they use rice paper, as well as creative components like frozen grapes and Uchi fish sauce to elevate the flavors in each bite. Or the otoro gunkan; shaped like tiny boats, gunkan translates to “battleship” in English. With the star of the show always sitting atop perfectly seasoned rice, these bites are waiting to explode with flavor. This winter, Uchi Miami will offer a special uni flight, incorporating a variety of different unis from Japan and the U.S. Chef Butterfield will also elevate the popular A5 hot rock special made with wagyu beef and ponzu, for a limited time. Happy Hour is also offered daily from 5 – 6:30 p.m. and features a unique menu with a rotating selection of cool and hot tastings, handrolls, sushi and sashimi, and an okashi offering. The core menu is also available at these times, along with various cocktails, beers, wines, and sake specials. Dine-in, take-out, and private dining options are also available. Looking ahead, Hai Hospitality has recently announced it is expanding its Miami footprint with plans to open Uchiko Miami in the heart of Sunset Harbour Village in 2024. Bold flavors with hints of smoke and char will differentiate Uchiko from its sibling Uchi. At Uchiko Miami Beach guests can expect an ever-changing menu that spotlights Uchi’s signature raw fish at the sushi bar, balanced with wood-fired items and Yakitori-grilled options, striking a balance between richness and delicacy. Uchiko Miami Beach will also offer a full bar with hard-to-find Japanese whiskys and a menu of “classic cocktails with a twist” that pair nicely with the robust hearth-centric menu.
