Aji's story

Chef Yamamoto:
30 years of Japanese cuisine.

There are cooks, and there are those who put a piece of themselves on every plate. Chef Yamamoto belongs to the second family.

23 years

Steak House Shogun

Brossard

It all started here, behind the teppanyaki griddle. The flames, the knives twirling, the laughter of guests. For the chef, cooking has never been just a job: it's a show, an encounter.

7 years

Aiko Sushi

Plateau Mont-Royal

On the Plateau, he co-founded Aiko Sushi and welcomed a loyal, curious clientele. Under his lead, Aiko became a reference and the chef a name passed between friends.

2018

Poké Star

Downtown

Innovation drew him behind the Eaton Centre. At the time, barely five poké spots existed in Montreal. He was among the first to believe in it. The pandemic closed that chapter.

Aji Sushi Mtl

929 St-Zotique Est

His little gem, matured over the years. Refined Japanese cuisine, a 4-seat omakase counter, a reinvented omakase also served at tables, and above all: an address that stays accessible to everyone.

His philosophy

Fine dining should be a pleasure you give yourself often.

Aji: taste

The restaurant's name carries the kanji 味, meaning taste, flavour, essence. Every piece is pressed to the minute to capture that essence.

Takumi: the artisan

Over 30 years of practice, the same rigour. Fish aged the edomae way, rice fanned by hand, aged red vinegar.

Kokoro: the heart

Cooking is not a trade, it's an encounter. The 4-seat counter and the tables are designed so every guest feels at home.

Welcome to Aji Sushi Mtl. Welcome home.
