Miwa is an intimate 47-seat Pan-Pacific fusion grill and craft cocktail lounge in the Greater Phoenix metro area. Operating as Miwa LLC under the management of Alohazona LLC, the concept combines high-heat open-flame cooking with a focused selection of sushi, poke, and raw or cured Pacific Rim seafood specialties. The beverage program centers on complex craft cocktails, specialty highballs, curated sake, wine, and a world-class beer selection.
The restaurant operates daily from 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., with approximately 350 operating days per year. Service transitions from elevated dinner and raw-bar dining into an audio/visual-driven late-night lounge with high-profile sports integration.
Front-of-house operations use a peer co-op floor model—“Model B”—with four to five working-owners holding Class C non-voting profits interests. Executive administration is isolated off-shift under Alohazona LLC through a Management Services Agreement (MSA), with the goal of protecting floor tip-pool compliance. This structure requires legal and tax validation before implementation.
