17-course nigiri omakase with unique flavors and sake pairings
"High-end omakase is having a moment in Miami, and this restaurant is at the forefront of that trend. With locations all over the U.S., Sushi by Scratch is housed in a permanent location in Coconut Grove, where guests dine at a 10-seat counter-only space manned by a team of three chefs and one bartender. With three nightly seatings (5 p.m., 7:15 p.m., and 9:30 p.m.), the 17-course meal consists strictly of nigiri with each item served as is, meaning no extras like soy sauce or wasabi. The menu changes regularly, but certain favorites have made their way to Miami, such as the hamachi painted with sweet corn pudding and topped with breadcrumbs, and the 1-2 Punch, which offers different presentations of bone marrow over two courses." - Allison Ramirez
"This Austin import offers a 17-course omakase featuring dishes like hamachi with sweet corn pudding and bread crumbs. The intimate, 10-seat counter-only space provides three seatings nightly (5 p.m., 7:15 p.m., and 9:30 p.m.), with a menu that changes regularly." - Olee Fowler
"Sushi By Scratch is an omakase with locations in Los Angeles, Austin, and more. Their Miami expansion landed in Coconut Grove. The 16-course meal is far from traditional Japanese sushi. Nigiri is topped with little slices of pineapple, drizzled with melted bone marrow, and brushed with a beet mustard sauce. It may sound chaotic, but oddly enough everything works and no ingredient is tossed around simply for the sake of showmanship (well, maybe a few). Dinner moves along at a good pace, and the atmosphere is fun enough that you won’t have to feel self-conscious if you accidentally get a little drunk off one of the beverage pairings. Cost: $185 per person." - ryan pfeffer
"Miami’s omakase scene is packed with options, but one contender stands out with its unique spins on a 17-course meal that incorporates non-traditional ingredients like bone marrow and poblano peppers. Alongside ebullient chefs, attentive bartenders ensure every guest is well cared for. Reservations are required for specific time slots." - Alona Martinez
