Tachi

Tachi is the traditional way to eat well and eat conveniently. They are part of the same restaurant group of Sushi Masaki Saito (with the only Michelin 2 star chef stationing in Canada) and Shoushin. This is a calm location amid the crowded Assembly Chef's Hall, similar to a Tokyo train station, and a great pleasant way to experience sushi while stretching those office chair gams. The space, which seats eight people standing, is the first of its sort in the country, as it turns out, “tachi” means standing.

The omakase meal - the only option here - progresses from subtle to more distinct flavors at just the right pace, which is exactly how sushi should be eaten. The chefs carefully examine how to highlight the flavor profile of each piece of sushi while creating a balanced dance with the others, with freshness and seasonality dictating what fish is actually presented. Bites may begin with hirame (fluke) and progress through hotate (scallop) and ebi (shrimp) before concluding with a handroll. Specials are popular, and patrons are now raving about the succulent wagyu beef. If you're lucky, you'll be served Miyazaki's award-winning A5 wagyu.
