An intimate 10-seat omakase counter is preparing to open this spring on Coral Way in Miami.
Takay from partners Glen Kotlyarski and Yoni Matz is bringing an 800-square-foot restaurant that will operate with two nightly seatings built around a chef-led Edomae-style tasting.
The name Takay is derived from the Japanese word takai, meaning “high” or “elevated.” Kotlyarski, who leads the kitchen, has more than 20 years of experience in fine-dining kitchens including the Jean-Georges Group and Miami’s Michelin-starred omakase counter Hiden. Matz previously worked within restaurant groups across Canada and brings an operations-focused background that includes training in astrophysics.
The space was designed by Japan-based architecture firm KTX. Guests enter through a small Zen garden before reaching the omakase counter, where a curved installation made from layered Japanese hinoki wood spans the ceiling. The structure references The Great Wave off Kanagawa and serves as the central design feature in the room.
Hinoki wood is also used for the sushi counter, shelving and latticework. Shoji-style rice paper panels line the walls and filter light around the counter, while coral stone sourced in South Florida appears throughout the space.
Takay will offer two tasting menus: a 17-course Signature Omakase ($225) and a 20-course Reserve Omakase ($275). Both follow Edomae sushi tradition, with seafood and specialty ingredients flown in from Japan alongside seasonal produce from local farms. The progression includes sashimi, nigiri and several cooked dishes before finishing with dessert and a traditional Japanese tea service.
A beverage program will include sake pairings as well as champagne and wine. Takay plans to operate Tuesday through Saturday with seatings at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. Reservations will be available through the restaurant’s website.
