The restaurant's name itself lends to the team's philosophy on hospitality. As the story goes, Tanuki is a magical shape-shifting raccoon-fox with an interest in encouraging generosity and cheerfulness among its beloved guests. Boasting supernatural powers, he has reformed from his mischievous tendencies into a benevolent rascal that represents good luck, prosperity, and success. Tanuki figures are found throughout Japan, especially in and around restaurants where they beckon drinkers and diners to enter and enjoy life through food and beverage. In Miami Beach, the restaurant proudly displays a prominent sculpture in its center. The sculpture features a big belly, signifying bold and calm decision-making; a big tail, symbolizing steadiness and strength; big eyes, indicating the capability to judge the environment and make good decisions; a structured hat, representing readiness and protection against the bad weather/bad times; and a friendly smile, offering a welcoming attitude toward customers. The surrounding interior décor featuring bright colors and murals by renowned graffiti artist, Andrew Antonaccio, reflects the fun and charismatic attitude of its muse.
