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.

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 an exceptional evening at Yukashi. Chef was very entertaining and answered all of our questions about the ingredients and Japanese cuisine. Everything was creatively presented and flavourful. We enjoyed the sake pairings and trying the chef’s own sake creations. The service was excellent and the restaurant had a wonderful ambiance. It was fun and elegant.

If you want to awaken your mouth to delicious tastes that you’ve never experienced before… then this Michelin Star restaurant should definitely be on your bucket list. Wonderful food that is prepared & presented with the utmost artistry. And absolutely unique sakes to pair seamlessly with the food. Owner / chef is delightful. Serving staff attended to everything we needed and some needs we didn’t know we had. We will definitely be back. Loved the full experience.
