With both indoor and outdoor space, Japón also features a private dining space known as The Kyoto Room, with space for up to 14 guests, its own private bar and a secluded entrance. Upon entering the restaurant overall, the majestic Tsuru crane, which symbolizes happiness and good fortune in the Japanese tradition, welcomes guests.

Executive Chef Vijayudu Veena and Executive Sous-Chef Ivan Monzón lead the culinary team. Each dish can be paired with a selection of rare and exceptional sake, a wine list, and cocktails pairing traditional Japanese ingredients with modern mixology.

“Japón offers more than a meal—it’s an experience that immerses guests in the rich, cultural tapestry of Japan,” said Chef Vijayudu Veena. “For this reason, our menu focuses on authenticity, using time-honored techniques and the finest ingredients to bring the spirit of Japan to every dish. Our offerings are designed to evoke the traditional flavors of Japan while embracing a modern culinary twist that elevates each dish. Standouts like our Chilean Sea

Bass with charred tomato miso, Lamb Chops, and freshly sourced seafood present in our sashimi and sushi selection set the stage for a delectable culinary experience that rounds out our Asian offerings at The Setai, Miami Beach.”
