About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Fancy

At Yukashi, we adhere to Japanese culinary tradition by carefully selecting seasonal vegetables that showcase the finest flavours and aromas, resulting in dishes that not only tantalize our customers' palates but also reflect our commitment to authenticity. Each course features a delightful array of seasonal bites that highlight the best of locally-sourced and imported Japanese ingredients. And with our artfully curated drink pairings, Chef Daisuke Izutsu invites you to an unforgettable dining experience that seamlessly blends the best of Japan with a subtle Canadian twist.

Kindly note that at this time, reservations are required for all seating, and we encourage you to book in advance to secure your spot at our coveted counter.

Executive chef: Daisuke Izutsu

MICHELIN 1 Star2022

From the OpenTable editors: Chef Daisuke Izutsu’s intimate Mount Pleasant spot serves just 20 diners a night. The hushed sushi shrine is where you come to watch the chef prepare a kaiseki menu with skilled precision. Each of the nine courses is exquisitely presented, subtly flavoured, and changes with the seasons.

Simply a superb overall experience. Chef Daisuke was extremely interactive. Server Yoko (pardon possible spelling error) was excellent in her service and explaining each dish and sake pairing. The Sous Chef was excellent. Excellent and will definitely return. Thank you.

We had a wonderful omakase dinner at Yukashi and greatly enjoyed Chef Izutsu's warmth and humor. He and his staff prepared a delicious tasting menu with seasonal ingredients from various regions of Japan. Sitting at the counter and interacting with Chef Izutsu while he prepared the meal was a very enjoyable and memorable experience. The food and service were both excellent, and we would highly recommend Yukashi.
