Where Discipline Meets Desire.
Born in Palm Beach and now calling Coral Gables home, Imoto embodies the next evolution of the Buccan experience. It’s intimate yet electric — a gathering place for those who appreciate the precision of Japanese cuisine and the freedom of contemporary creativity.
Imoto Coral Gables brings a new layer to the city’s dining scene — stylish, soulful, and just a little unexpected.
A Study in Duality.
At Imoto, balance isn’t just philosophy — it’s flavor. Every dish honors the tension between sweet and spicy, elegant and bold, structured and wild. We draw from tradition without being bound by it, crafting experiences that celebrate curiosity, craft, and connection.
Chef Clay
Meet the Masters
Behind the Heat.
James Beard Award nominee and Michelin-recognized chef, Clay Conley has spent decades perfecting his craft — from Tokyo and Boston to Miami and Palm Beach. At Imoto, he leads a team of passionate cooks and creatives who share his belief that excellence is found in the details.
Gede Adnyana, Imoto’s longtime sushi chef, brings quiet mastery and exacting precision to every roll and nigiri. His work reflects both discipline and daring — balancing the purity of Japanese tradition with the bold energy that defines the Buccan Group.

Together, they’ve built a restaurant that feels both elevated and approachable — a kitchen that works hard, laughs often, and always keeps the food at the center of the story.
