Miami food hall adding sushi concept

May 2, 2019

TYO Sushi, a certified kosher Asian food concept that serves edamame, bento boxes, catch-of-the-day sushi and poke bowls, is one of 16 fast casual brands now serving customers within The Lincoln Eatery, a food hall in Miami, Florida, according to a company press release.
 
"With flexible indoor and outdoor seating for over 200, The Lincoln Eatery is the perfect location to make our debut," Chef Roger Epres said in the release. "I take great pride in our authentic menu and my daily routine starts with washing and soaking sushi rice multiple times for extended periods. We make our own kimchi and create specialty sushi varieties including our Cuban roll and South Beach roll, both inspired by the Miami lifestyle and the local culture."
 
The sushi concept got its name from the Tokyo airport code, TYO, which pays tribute to the metropolitan area of Japan in which traditional Japanese sushi originated. Later this year, TYO plans to offer specialty experiences for guests including a fruit carving seminar led by Epres and a special tasting experience that will include secret menu items and omakase-inspired rolls. Epres also plans to spearhead sushi-making classes later this summe, according to the release.
