Sushi Yūgen offers an authentic omakase experience, crafted by Head Chef Kyohei Igarashi, who brings expertise from Tokyo, mastering both kaiseki and sushi, including leading a Michelin-starred omakase counter.

Our restaurant features two dining experiences: an 8-seat Chef’s counter (Wed-Sat) and a 12-seat main sushi counter (Mon-Sat), each with unique menus.

Located in Toronto’s financial district, Sushi Yūgen embraces Japanese minimalism and wabi-sabi, celebrating beauty in imperfection and nature’s cycles. Our name, Yūgen, signifies ‘profound mystery and beauty,’ reflecting our philosophy.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Kyohei Igarashi

From the OpenTable editors: Hidden in a Financial District office building, this Japanese gem nabbed a spot on Canada's 100 Best Restaurants list less than a year after it opened. Choose from an 18- to 20-course feast at an eight-seat counter or set menus in the dining room. Either way, you'll experience the omakase chops of chef Kyohei Igarashi, who has honed his craft at high-end sushi and kaiseki restaurants in Japan.

    I visited Sushi Yūgen to celebrate my birthday for a solo lunch and wanted to try out an omakase experience for the first time! It was a 10 piece course of the chef’s selection, 1 fatty blue tuna fin roll and miso soup. The servers were all so sweet and accommodating, offering tea as I sat in the waiting area. I was in a trance getting to watch the chef carefully, masterfully mold the sushi by hand and explaining each course was so helpful, and he asked what I thought of each piece and I was happy to tell him my favourites! The servers also gave me a birthday treat (fresh peach juice) at the end of the courses and a paper origami that said “happy birthday” which was a nice touch! I highly recommend trying out their omakase if it’s your first time trying it. Go with a friend or one other person, but I highly recommend going solo if you’re comfortable, because you can interact with the chef and take in the experience without the distraction of another person.

    Another great experience. The quality of the food is impeccable and the balance of the flavours in their Nigiri is beautiful.
