Hiyakawa

Alvaro Perez Miranda, the Venezuelan restaurateur and art dealer who also owns Wabi Sabi, has created a sparse yet beautiful dining room for Hiyakawa in Wynwood. The scene feels like walking into a museum exhibit — the interior is decorated in Japanese wood architecture with curved ceiling arches that resemble the unfinished frame of a sailing vessel or the inside of a giant whale. Either way, it's a remarkable backdrop for a restaurant that specializes in fish flown in daily from the Toyosu Fish Market in Tokyo. The menu offers à la carte items, but order one of the many sushi platters (or the omakase experience) to get the full effect of this palace of sushi.
