NAOE, located at 175 Sunny Isles Boulevard, was opened in chef Kevin Cory on March 19, 2009. Chef Cory had studied under chef Nobuo Kase in Kyoto and his uncle, Yasushi Naoe of Kawai Ryokan in Toyama, before returning to Miami and turning a subpar sushi bar, Siam River, into one of Miami's best. His family has operated a shoyu (soy sauce) brewery, also called Naoe, in Oono since 1825, and a sake brewery, Nakamura Brewery, in Ishikawa since the 1800's.
A dinner at NAOE is Omakase (お任せ) style, consisting of a bento box followed by individual sushi pieces. A 2008 Miami Beach location was planned and canceled due to a City garbage issue. The Sunny Isles location closed on December 18, 2011 ahead of demolition plans for the stripmall it sat in. NAOE is moving to Brickell Key, near downtown Miami, in early 2012.
Over the years NAOE has earned numerous accolades--four stars and one of the top 4 Japanese restaurants in North America by Forbes (2011; top 3 in 2010); a 29 rating from Zagat; a Fodors Choice award (2011); one of the top 30 Restaurants in America from USA Today Travel (2011); voted one of the Top 50 Restaurants (2010) and Top 100 Restaurants in the United States by Open table diners (2011); Miami New Times Best of Miami 2010 Best Japanese Restaurant (2010).
