Modern Japanese on Miami's Island
Kazumi was born from a restless ambition to bring world-class Japanese cuisine to a secluded barrier island off Miami's coast. It worked.
Kazumi Modern Japanese | Our Story
The Founder
Antonio Braschi spent decades in hospitality before planting roots on Key Biscayne. That tenacity — and an appetite for something more ambitious — led him to Japanese cuisine.
February 2014
In February 2014, Kazumi opened with a clear vision: izakaya small plates, robata grill, and a full sushi bar — all under one roof. Built on passion, it showed from day one.
The Chef's Standard
Every dish is pushed through technique, texture, and a global sensibility that honors Japanese tradition without being confined by it. Signatures like the Buddha Roll have earned genuine devotion.
Island Air, Open Patio
Tables framed by tropical palms, a coastal breeze, and waterfront views — the kind of setting that turns a Tuesday dinner into something you actually remember.
Why We Do This
Kazumi exists on the premise that beauty, elegance, and exquisite taste belong together. Come with an open palate and leave with a new favorite restaurant.
