Bistro Japonais Furusato

I often went to Furusato when I lived in Montreal for three years, until this summer.
They have amazing sushi with fish imported from Japan, plus hotpots & Japanese home style dishes. The karaage especially reminded me of my mom's cooking!
As a Japanese, Furusato is my best Japanese restaurant in Montreal.
Hope I can visit & eat there again someday.

A humble little establishment with some of the finest sushi & sashimi in town, along with other lesser-known Japanese dishes. Service can sometimes be a bit slow, but it's worth it for the food. [2024 Update] Moved to a new location, but the quality is still some of the best in town.

A friendly & casual restaurant serves authentic Japanese dishes. It's not a fancy & chic place like the ones in Old Montreal or in Plateau, & I hope it stays like that way! The menu lists classic Japanese dishes with fairly reasonable price. Their sushi is so good - it's not just the freshness of the ingredients but also the way they prepare the rice. There are so many sushi restaurants in Montreal yet most of them (even the fancy & expensive ones) seem to have hard time making the sushi rice properly, which is a huge disappointment for a native Japanese like me. Furusato never fails & always makes me happy when I have the first bite of their sushi. Other dishes are also great but haven't tried all of them because we always go for their sushi :) The chef & the servers are so humble which also gives you a sense of an authentic Japanese restaurant in Japan. Furusato-san, please stay as you are!

Finally, real authentic Japanese dishes available in Montreal! Each meal is prepared by the owner; a Japanese trained Chef. His Japanese wife, also owner, ensures everything is done to perfection! Having been to Japan many times, this is the real taste of Japanese food!

This is the rebirth of the original Furusato on Bleury, & it's every bit as good. Chef Akira-san brought his magic along, & somehow even the staff & locale capture the same authenticity & pure joy of deceptively simple dishes exquisitely prepared & unpretentiously presented. It's not a place you bring someone you want to impress - unless that someone can recognize the work of a genius chef in his own natural environment.
