Welcome to August in the Magic City, where National Rum Month is more than just a celebration—it’s a way of life.
This year, Kissaki Miami, the acclaimed Japanese dining import from New York, is turning up the heat with a month-long homage to the spirit of the Caribbean. In an exciting partnership with Brugal, the esteemed Dominican rum maker, Kissaki is set to transform your typical night out into an unforgettable fusion of flavors and cultures.
“The collaboration between Kissaki and Brugal is a match made in heaven,” enthuses Gabe F Urrutia, Brugal Brand Specialist. “It’s bringing endless summer vibes to innovative Japanese cuisine.”
And innovative it is. Kissaki, known for its unwavering commitment to quality, boasts its own fishery and wildlife license. This means that every piece of sashimi, every morsel of uni, is sourced directly from Japan within a mere 24 hours. Talk about fresh!
But how does rum fit into this equation of exquisite Japanese fare? As it turns out, quite beautifully. The aged spirit can bring out the sweeter notes in fish, creating an unexpected yet delightful pairing that’s sure to tantalize your taste buds.

Rum Cocktails with a Japanese TwistThroughout August, Kissaki Miami is offering an exclusive cocktail menu that puts Brugal’s complex flavors front and center. Eight specialty libations feature Brugal 1888 Doblemente Añejado and the latest premium offering, Brugal Colección Visionaria.
