Celebrating its 40th year as a cornerstone of Miami Beach's dining scene, Toni's Sushi Bar, the area's longest-running sushi establishment, is excited to showcase its remarkable new look. This redesign, a fusion of modern design principles and traditional Japanese cultural elements, was achieved through a collaboration with the acclaimed New York City-based design firm, Kono Designs, and the unparalleled skill of four craftsmen from Japan, experts in bamboo artistry. The renovation reflects a tribute to the restaurant's founding family by siblings and current leaders, Kevin and Yoko Takarada, enhancing the dining experience with a blend of innovation and homage to their heritage.
The redesign centers on the use of bamboo, a material chosen for its symbolic representation of strength, beauty, and flexibility within Japanese culture. Imported directly from the Kyoto mountains, five tons of bamboo have been meticulously shaped into stunning architectural features, including an enchanting tunnel and a dynamic wave above the sushi bar, transforming the space into a visually captivating environment. These elements were crafted by masters whose previous works include ancient temples and royal gardens in Japan, bringing a piece of that tradition to Miami Beach.
This approach has resulted in a space that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also a testament to the artistry of sushi preparation, mirroring the excellence Toni's has been known for almost four decades.
Kevin and Yoko Takarada express their excitement for the restaurant's new chapter, emphasizing their dedication to providing a memorable dining experience that celebrates the best of Japanese tradition and the lively essence of Miami Beach.
Toni's Sushi Bar has consistently set the bar high for sushi dining, attracting patrons with its fresh ingredients, and exquisite dishes. Signature dishes like Salmon Carpaccio, Bluefin Toro Tartar, and the Dreaming Shrimp Roll continue to draw in diners.
