Earlier today, Vancouver's selection saw 1 new One Star and 1 new Bib Gourmand.
Sushi Masuda joins the other nine One Star restaurants. Meticulously prepared by Vancouver 2024 Young Chef Award Winner Yoji Masuda, offerings at Sushi Masuda include a wonderfully gelatinous beltfish and an indulgent savory monkfish liver. The impeccable experience is artfully executed in a plain room behind a print shop.
Vancity's culinary landscape just got that much more delicious.
New One Star
Sushi Masuda
Cuisine: Japanese
Entering this humble five-seat counter that is tucked in the corner of an unrelated restaurant and through the glass doors of a print shop serves as a pointed reminder not to judge a book by its cover. The plain, spare room is brought to life by the artfully simple, meticulous preparations of Chef Yoji Masuda, whose time spent in a top counter in Tokyo is amply apparent, though his own personality comes through. With the assistance of his wife Akari, who provides a warm, attentive hospitality, the meal proceeds gracefully, from an indulgent savory "pudding" of sweet, pure-tasting monkfish liver to a wonderfully gelatinous beltfish cooked with sake and kombu, before arriving at the impeccable nigiri, which showcase exceptional ingredients alongside a singular delicacy and precision.
