  • At Yasu, I would compare each bite to the first kiss at the end of a date. The careful preparation by the chef is the date itself, building up to the moment. He presents the sushi carefully in front of you, and it's like you're staring into the eyes of someone you really like. You take a bite and explore the flavours and textures. And just like a first kiss, it's slow, deliberate, and sweet. Sitting at the sushi bar, Yasu's mastery of minimalism is clear. Things are black and white, polished and organized. Each piece of sushi is highlighted with just one or two extra ingredients. The chefs are clearly dedicated to their craft. You can sense their disappointment in a slight head shake if something is not up to standard. Every imperfection is carefully carved away. Preparations start promptly and piece after piece arrive at a good pace. Everything is meant to be eaten in one bite. There's monkfish liver from Bosnia, a fatty and rubbery delicacy that is cut perfectly by a sliver of shiso leaf. Then comes red shrimp from Argentina and fluke from North Carolina, that taste like the sea the moment your tongue touches it. Alaskan Salmon roe that explodes on impact, enhanced by yuzu zest. Creamy sea urchin from opposite coasts. A tuna journey from Mexico that takes you from smooth to decadent. Striped jack, Amberjack, sea eel, things that I have never heard of, let alone tasted. On and on it goes until you reach 18 pieces and you're left in a state of pure bliss. Servers are prompt, informative, and professional. Endless sake is brought out and described in great detail. The plum wine is a perfect palette cleanser in between dishes. You are encouraged to ask the chef questions though chatter is kept to a quiet minimum. It is, after all, a show. And the chef's handiwork doesn't demand, but encourages, undisturbed respect. No, this isn't a complex 'mouthgasm'. It's not a messy love affair, like tacos, or a complicated whirlwind of spices and herbs, like curry. It's a different kind of delicious, simple and beautiful. All of your senses are engaged. Take a bite. Fall in love. Repeat. (100/100) - 2016, Yes...I might've planned for Yasu to be my 100th review of the year :). Definitely worth it.
