"While blowtorch-intensive sushi omakases have scattered across Miami, Naoe has hidden inside its little cave in Brickell Key, where it’s remained insulated from trends and fiercely committed to unphotogenic milt for over 15 years. Miami’s longest-running Japanese omakase is still its best. It’s also not for everyone. There are only five seats. Soft, classical music plays in the background of the unadorned space. And you’re more likely to encounter the fermented intestines of a sea cucumber spread across Japanese mountain yam than fatty tuna. Dinner at Naoe is three quiet hours of Miami's most finely tuned Japanese cooking." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
