Sushi Masuda is the newest recipient of a Michelin star, and on top of that, chef-owner Yoji Masuda was given the Michelin Young Chef/Culinary Professional Award during the October 3 ceremony at Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom.
The Vancouver-born sushi chef trained and studied the art of sushi in Japanese restaurants before apprenticing in Tokyo’s Ginza district.
The destination specializes in omakase. The menu changes throughout the season depending on what is fresh and available in both BC and from the Toyosu Market in Tokyo.
Sushi Masuda serves Nori Seaweed imported directly from the Maruyama Nori Shop in Tsukiji, Tokyo. Its soy sauce has also been aged for four years in large wooden barrels.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the attention to detail you’ll enjoy throughout the service here.

If you’re a sushi lover and live in Vancouver, chances are you’ve heard of Masayoshi Baba’s eatery, Masayoshi.

Chef Masayoshi casts his net wide for global culinary techniques that highlight an ingredient’s umami flavour.

The sushi bar, where you can watch the chef in action, is first-come, first-served, so reserve early.
