I love Kaji when I was in TO, I've tried many Omakase/Fix menu places here in YVR and I've yet to come across one that's comparable in quality and price.
Here in YVR, the trend of a good Japanese restaurant is high-end materials where everything is flown-in from Japan, be it fish, uni, wagyu... etc.
But Kaji has some of that... plus sourcing many materials from say US/Can that are equally as good, if not better than what can be sourced from Japan, at least that's what the chef at Kaji told us once when we were eating there.
And you can tell he goes to great lengths to try all the different ingredients in order to bring the best there is for the customer. Hence items on the prix-fix menu are always changing, as it fits into the ingredients available at the time.
