If you are looking for noodles, or broth or wagyu beef, then I recommend Sushi Kaji (a favourite of mine). The chef recommends eating each fish in one bite. The fish at Yasu is so tender it seems to melt in your mouth. Toronto Sushi restaurants need to eat here and see what great quality fish tastes like. They served black sesame ice cream on tonight’s visit. We opted to have the Sake tasting, which paired various sake that went with each 3-4 courses. Each fish had a different taste and texture. The final course is a sponge cake-like egg omelet. For instance tonight we had, fluke, maceral, sea bream, salmon roe, shrimp, eel, Bonito, red snapper, foie gras of the sea (not my favourite), crab, sea bass, scallops, salmon, three types of tuna from lean to fatty, and a few fish I have never had before from Japan. Every night there is different offerings depending on the freshest fish the chef can find. There is one around 5, One at 7:15 and one at 9:30pm on the weekend. It sounds expensive but a comparable meal in New York for instance would be in the $150-200 range.Īll the sushi is seasoned when you get it, there is no soya sauce for dunking your sushi in.

There are one to three seating’s depending on the night. Our meal was primarily from Japan, and also Boston, Greece, Alaska and Nova Scotia on our evening. For $80 you receive an Omakase meal of 18 pieces of the freshest nigiri sushi from all over the world. If you love fresh fish prepared in a traditional way (no fancy toppings or presentations) then you will enjoy this meal. The restaurant is so small you can blink and you would pass it on the street. I counted 11 at the sushi counter and 2 at a window table. It is a tiny place, minimalist, understated with clean modern lines, and relaxed, holding about 13 people.
