MINŌ ("little fish") is Boca Raton's only omakase counter of its kind: ten seats, one chef, nothing rushed. Chef JM Canlas composes each course from what arrived that morning, the same principles a craftsman applies to any trade worth doing right: care over spectacle, restraint over flash, a finished plate that rewards a second look. Reservations are required and prepaid, $195 per person with an optional $95 sake pairing. That structure exists so the counter can plan precisely for ten guests a night rather than turn a room. The sake program is built the same way: relationships with individual Japanese breweries instead of a distributor list, so the selection shifts as those relationships and harvests do rather than sitting static on a shelf. The counter is intimate by design. The room around it isn't: full bar and lounge, open Tuesday through Saturday, walk-in seating, no reservation needed. Small. Precious. Essential.
