The Den sits inside Azabu Miami Beach, a discreet 18-seat hinoki counter where Chef Anthony Esquivel leads an Edomae-style omakase. Esquivel, who trained in Michelin-starred kitchens in Los Angeles and New York before taking the helm here, builds each course around seafood sourced from Tokyo's Toyosu Market, with rice finished in komezu and akazu vinegars and wasabi grated to order.
The current menu, offered as part of the Miami Spice Reserve program through October 31, runs 11 courses for $120 per person. Pricing and course count may shift seasonally once the promotion ends, so it is worth confirming current terms when booking.
Seatings run Tuesday through Saturday at 7:00 PM and 9:15 PM, with the full experience lasting about two hours. The counter seats 18, all facing the chefs directly, and an English-language menu is available. A private room can be arranged for events. Reservations are taken by phone at (786) 276-0520; guests check in with the host at Azabu Miami Beach before being led to The Den.
The format is chef's-choice only, with no à la carte substitutions, and diners should be comfortable eating raw fish. There is no children's menu, and while the kitchen can sometimes adjust for specific dietary needs if notified in advance, it cannot guarantee accommodation for all restrictions. A 24-hour cancellation policy applies, with a full charge for late changes or no-shows, and a 15-minute grace period for late arrivals.
