Yasu

Yasu has a sister restaurant in LA's super-swish Beverly Hills, which should tell you everything you need to know about its vibe. That being said, the Toronto site is the original (and best) from chef and owner, Yasuhisa Ouchi.

In a world where borders are blurring and everyone has access to the freshest seafood, Jasu took advantage of the chance to return to the basics of sushi, where simplicity was the key to bringing out the sea's flavor. They use traditional methods to extract the umami flavor of seafood. For a perfectly balanced bite, the fish is freshly cut and laid atop warm, loose rice, then dusted with a touch of nikiri soy. In a nutshell, Yasu aims to capture the essence of sushi. For optimal flavor and freshness, the seasonal ingredients are cooked at the sushi bar and presented right away. Come in for an authentic omakase sushi experience.
