Yuwa Japanese Cuisine Celebrates the New Year with Multi-Course Dinner on December 31

Yuwa Japanese Cuisine will welcome 2019 by hosting a special multi-course New Year’s Eve dinner that features optional premium sushi and sashimi pairings on Monday, December 31.

Beginning at 5:20 p.m. and continuing with seating times available until 8:30 p.m., Yuwa Co-Owners Executive Chef Masahiro Omori and Sake Sommelier Iori Kataoka will offer each guest a complimentary glass of sparkling wine or sake upon arrival before presiding over a five-course dinner that showcases Omori’s signature take on the distinct regional cuisines of his home country of Japan.

Tickets to the dinner are available for $118 per person — or $168 for premium courses featuring select, hand-picked cuts of fresh sashimi and sushi flown in from Japan on the day of the dinner — plus tax and gratuity, with optional artisan wine and sake pairings available for an additional cost.

Occupying the space formerly known as the award-winning Zest Japanese Cuisine, Yuwa recently celebrated its first anniversary after debuting in the heart of Vancouver’s West Side in 2017 and was quickly singled out as a finalist for Best New Restaurant at the 29th annual Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards. Its list of artisan wine and sake was also awarded a coveted Gold designation at the 2018 Vancouver International Wine Festival’s Wine Program Excellence Awards.

Yuwa is both a showcase for Omori’s effortlessly elegant approach to the traditional Japanese kaiseki style of dining and a heartfelt homage to his late grandmother Yuwa, who owned and operated a fish market in Japan’s Chiba Prefecture and instilled in Omori his dedication to craft, work ethic and eye for the freshest catch.
