Miami’s Premier Omakase Restaurant Kicks Off Platform’s Newest Dinner Series
It has been said that dining at Ogawa, Miami's most celebrated omakase restaurant, is like entering a portal to Japan. On this special evening in New York, a select group of diners will access that passageway at Platform by the James Beard Foundation with a transportive and utterly unforgettable omakase opportunity. Rooted in the Japanese phrase meaning “I leave it up to you,” omakase entrusts the chef to craft a meticulous multi-course tasting menu designed with precision and intention.
Conceptualized by art dealer and restaurateur Alvaro Perez Miranda, Ogawa features an intimate omakase menu crafted by master sushi chef Masayuki Komatsu. Impeccable sourcing is of the utmost importance, with the finest ingredients shipped daily directly from Japan's Ibaraki Prefecture and Tokyo's Toyosu fish market. The same exacting attention to detail is paid to the beverage program, which guests will experience through spectacular cocktails, including Ogawa’s signature Japanese highballs.
With only two seatings available, limited to 11 chef’s counter seats at each, the extraordinary evening will kick off with a private reception followed by an exceptional omakase experience infused with Ogawa's signature hospitality and commitment to three guiding principles: omotenashi (mindful hospitality), komakai (fine attention to detail), and sensai (sensitivity).
* Due to the extremely limited quantity of seats at this event, all discounts, including JBF Patron discounts, cannot be applied.
