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.

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.

Intimate, elegant, innovative, skillful, tasty. We celebrated a birthday and 25th wedding anniversary there. The chef adjusted the dishes to accomodate the allergies and food preferences of one of our group. Opentable described the seating as countertop but it is probably better described as chef’s table, as we were seated right in front of the chef as he was preparing the food. The display was impressive and was a significant part of the experience. The food was exquisitely presented with a myriad of colours, textures and flavours. The chef and staff were very welcoming, attentive and respectful. We enjoyed the 9 course tasting menu, together with the matched sake pairing.
