Makoto Okuwa, a master of Edomae-style sushi, ushers Japanese cuisine into the 21st century with his eponymous eatery, located in the luxurious Bal Harbour Shops. In a sleek room whose understated elegance melds with the quiet sophistication of the cuisine, Makoto delivers a distinctly Japanese experience built around pristine raw fish, premium Japanese and Australian wagyu beef and soulful skewers cooked over a charcoal robata grill. Pair his impressive cooking with his Junmai Daiginjo private label sake, and you’ve got a good reason to smile.
