| - I was treated to Yasu for my birthday and enjoyed it tremendously. To start with, you must plan this well in advance. They accept reservations up to a month ahead. To ensure the sitting you want (on Saturdays, when we went, they have 5:15, 7:15, 9:30), book as early as you can.
We sat at the bar, and I highly recommend it. You get to see the food being made and interact with the chefs by sitting at the bar.
The drink choices are 4 beers and a variety of wines. Although my partner and I had green tea (which was constantly refilled, a big plus!) and water.
The only choice to be made food-wise is the standard sashimi or the upgraded version. For our meal, the standard was 2 types of sashimi while the upgraded was 6. The sushi was as fresh as I've ever had and the presentation was incredible. In addition to sushi, one of the courses was rice with fatty tuna and salmon roe. Another non-sushi course was miso soup.
I'd had fish I'd never heard of and parts of those fish which I didn't even know were edible, such as milt.
The meal was finished with two more pieces of a la carte sushi (which the chefs kindly offered) and black sesame ice cream.
While the price was very high, it was a special occasion and well worth it.
