Started out with Sada san's signature Uni Shooter

Then followed by another Shooter, this time Spot Prawn Shooter, different texture from the uni shooter, the prawn was very fresh and delicious

Then we were served 3 started dishes from the kitchen followed by a sashimi platter from chef sada (note the portion shown here is for 1 person)
We had flounder fish, butter fish (omg so good), uni, o-toro (with gold leaf on it and lightly torched), Saba and Hamachi, all the fish was super fresh.
the appies from the kitchen was Gomae, a buckwheat sushi (very tasty), and a tomato salad with tempura mozzarella.

worth noting that this restaurant uses fresh real wasabi

we were then served a crab pudding, crab meat, egg and mixed with the natural "guts" of the crab, very tasty

this is grilled blue fin tuna, and blue fin tuna cheeks, the cheeks was very good while I found the rest of the meat to be a tad dry.

Japanese Wagyu beef, now I know it is likely Australian Wagyu, but sada san insist that these are imported from Japan, now sure how that is possible.

o-toro nigiri, omg best single piece of sushi i've ever had, fish melts in your mouth, soy sauce was brushed onto the fish, wish I could have had more of this sushi

Foie Gras Nigiri, very rich and tasty, but I've had better Foie Gras at Le Crocodile, but as a nigiri it was very interesting

this is Sada San's signature nigiri, he makes one of the best tamago in Vancouver, it is very sweet and to me, would've been the perfect dessert.

the meal was had with beer imported from Okinawa, as recommended by Sada San

Dessert was made by his award winning pastry chef, the churros was my favorite, followed by the green tea cake, but overall everything was very good.
portion shown is for 2

almost didn't have room to eat this, but another signature piece from Octopus Garden

last but not least, the chef behind this wonderful meal, Sada San

overall the meal was well worth it, and still looking forward to trying out Tojo's another time.
