Okeya Kyujiro
Okeya Kyujiro – As mentioned before, I am always a fan of Japanese cuisine. So when I came across Okeya Kyujiro on a friend’s Facebook page I knew I had to try it. It was first established in Montreal, and now they have opened their second location in Yaletown. This place is very unique as it provides a full on immerse omakase dining experience with a bit of a visual impact entertainment from the beginning to end. There are only two serving times and with a limited seating of 12 people. All the staff are dressed in more traditional Japanese wear and the food is flown fresh directly from Japan. You are introduced to the staff and watch how the chefs are making each item and have the servers explain each dish and will show you the ingredients prior to preparation. Each dish was incredibly delightful and delicious. It was clearly something I have never tried before and I was completely impressed with it. I enjoyed every aspect of the experience and the food. It’s definitely a place you should go at least once and on a special occasion since it’s priced on the high end side.
