Miami’s dining scene is heating up, and the Uchi Miami Summer Dinner Series is bringing an unforgettable mix of creativity, culture, and culinary talent to Wynwood this season. As the city’s vibrant neighborhoods come alive with warm nights and unforgettable flavors, Uchi Miami is inviting guests to experience an exclusive collection of intimate

dinners where Japanese-inspired cuisine meets some of Miami’s most exciting local chefs.

Launching Thursday, June 25, 2026, the Uchi Miami Summer Dinner Series transforms the beloved Wynwood restaurant into a destination for culinary discovery, offering a four-part lineup of ticketed dining experiences featuring collaborative menus, unexpected flavor combinations, and the artistry that defines Miami’s evolving food scene. With each event

pairing Uchi’s signature approach to modern Japanese cuisine with a different guest chef,

every evening promises a fresh reason to gather, taste, and celebrate.

An Exclusive Summer Dining Experience in Wynwood

Known for its innovative interpretation of Japanese cuisine, Uchi Miami has become one of Wynwood’s standout destinations for guests seeking refined flavors, thoughtful preparation, and a dining experience that goes beyond the ordinary.

The summer dinner series continues that tradition by creating a more personal and immersive way to explore the creativity behind Miami’s culinary community. Each dinner brings together Uchi’s Chef de Cuisine Diana Martinez with a featured guest chef for a specially curated multicourse menu.

Designed as a celebration of collaboration, the series highlights the unique personalities, techniques, and inspirations of each participating kitchen. The first event on June 25 welcomes Deniz Aktug, Co-Owner and Chef de Cuisine of Yoso Sushi, for an evening centered around sustainably sourced ingredients and elevated sushi craftsmanship.

Guests can expect a menu that blends the distinctive styles of both restaurants, featuring standout creations such as Aji Crudo with sunchoke ponzu, Corn Arancini with dashi risotto, and Braised Short Rib with mango-shiso relish.

The carefully designed menu reflects the spirit of both chefs: balancing tradition with innovation while showcasing bold flavors, seasonal ingredients, and unexpected combinations.

Uchi Miami Summer Dinner Series Celebrates Culinary Collaboration

What makes the Uchi Miami Summer Dinner Series truly special is its focus on connection. Rather than simply offering a seasonal menu, Uchi is creating a platform where chefs can exchange ideas and introduce guests to new perspectives on cuisine.

The collaboration with Yoso Sushi sets the tone for a summer filled with exciting culinary encounters. Each dinner throughout the series will introduce a different chef and a completely new experience, making every event unique.

On Thursday, July 23, guests will welcome Chef Michael Eure of Over/Under, a Miami favorite known for combining southern influences with subtropical flavors. His approach celebrates familiar ingredients through a creative lens, making the collaboration with Uchi an opportunity to discover new interpretations of both cuisines.

The series continues on Thursday, August 20, with Founder and Executive Chef Alejandra Espinoza of Cotoa.

Recently awarded a 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand, Cotoa has gained recognition for its progressive Ecuadorian cuisine and thoughtful storytelling through food. The collaboration will bring together Cotoa’s vibrant flavors with Uchi’s signature Japanese-inspired techniques for an evening unlike any other.

The final installment arrives on Thursday, September 24, offering guests an exclusive preview collaboration with Uchibā, Hai Hospitality’s acclaimed sister concept, ahead of its anticipated fall opening in Brickell. This closing event promises to give diners a first look at the next chapter of Miami’s evolving culinary landscape.

From Wynwood’s artistic streets to the city’s growing reputation as a global dining destination, the series reflects Miami’s passion for experiences that feel exclusive, memorable, and community-driven.

The intimate format allows guests to enjoy more than just a meal. Each dinner becomes a story told through flavors, techniques, and collaborations between chefs who share a passion for pushing culinary boundaries.
