The brief
We read seven real restaurant sites around Miami. Menus were images or PDFs or had no prices, and nobody published room sizes, minimums and deposits together. Hinoko does both.
What it does differently
A real menu
Grouped, priced, with what's included stated first.
Birthdays spelled out
What every birthday gets, in four parts.
Groups in one place
Sizes, set menus, minimums and the deposit rule.
One way to book
One form, a clear walk-in line and a clear rule about sharing a grill.
Design decisions
Neon on black lacquer, with Japanese restraint. Shippori Mincho B1 for the headlines, Murecho for everything else.
