Vous devez d'abord y aller. Expérience inoubliable. Prix un peu cher pour moi, mais ils ont raison parce que tout est qualité 1A.View more
Mon fils, qui fréquente régulièrement ce petit bistro, m'a fait découvrir ce lieu. Nous étions cinq, donc il était impératif de réserver. Moi j'ai pris le bol katsudon, je l'ai trouvé savoureux. Les autres membres du groupe ont été enchantés par la fondue Yosebabe, l'aubergine ageni, maquereau & bien sur les sushis sashimi parmi d'autres plats à partager. Le service est irréprochable dans ce bistro, l'ambiance est tranquille & la cuisine est superbe, sans prétention.View more
Edited: Glad to see the response from the owner. First I am very happy to learn you have the confidence on your food, otherwise situation would get worse. Second, indeed some of your customers agree with you, & they believe these food worth 8000 yen. I would not say they are wrong, in fact their feelings are right in someway, as your research profoundly demonstrates the extra price is indeed the very cost for they are enjoying genuine Japanese food right here, in Montreal, not in Tokyo, Osaka or Kyoto. Perhaps I should make myself clear when asking that question, & now I may make some small changes. Let's suppose you were in Osaka, not Montreal, were you willing to spend 8000 yen on the food you present us? You don't have to answer here. Everyone has the ability to search on Google map for 4.5-star restaurants in Osaka & see the images of their food. I believe the answer to my revised question would be quite clear. One of your reviews indicates that the best Japanese restaurants are in the East Coast of the States. Then it continues, "Montreal deserves one, but Furusato obviously is not the one". The reviewer just gives a conclusion but does not elucidate, & my job here is to explain it. In fact I would accept a higher price for a REAL 8000 yen Japanese food, even if it's 16000 yen on the menu. Why? Cuz high quality food deserves high price. But in your case? I really cannot accept high price for a quite ordinary meal. Just image a regular Tims coffee (2.71CAD/300 yen) sells for 1000 yen(10 CAD) in Osaka. Will you accept it? Lastly, please, Japan is a REAL developed country, even BETTER than Canada. It's quite lame to use excuses like "doing business in Canada is harder than Japan ". Japan & Canada are both developed countries, therefore foods & services shall be the same quality for reasonable prices in both countries. I really feel sorry that some words from your response have insulted both Japan & Canada to some extent. I remember your previous site was near Place de Arts, a quite expensive location, but now here? I really cannot imagine you opened business here because you got beating hard by your home competitors. -------Origin texts -------- Put my arguments first, 1. Genuine does not guarantee delicious. 2. If you cannot afford the expenses travelling to Japan but you want to taste the real flavour of a Japanese family restaurant, this is the place for you, but don't expect too much. Food is too ordinary but the price is too high. Perhaps the only reason convincing one to pay for an overpriced meal is that their food is not the ready-to-serve factory products, all hand-made by the chef on scene. But I think that's a great advantage considering most'Japanese restaurants' in DT use pre-cooked rubbish to fool customers. HOWEVER, I FIRMLY believe if Furusato is in Tokyo or Osaka, it won't survive EVEN ONE DAY. A fine meal in Furusato is worth probably 8000 yen & with this price, one can have a Kaiseki meal (a very very luxurious Japanese meal ) in Osaka, let alone other ordinary meals. Here I got a quick question for the owner of Furusato, are you willing to spend 8000 yen for the food on your menu? So my conclusion is, Furusato is worth & not worth to try, depends on your ability to travel to Japan.View more
The vibes are immaculate at this place. on one hand i want them to flourish, but in another i want to gatekeep this local gem all for myself! food are nothing like the japanese commercial you find downtown; everything tastes fresh & authentic. (personal favourite the tofu dish)View more
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.View more

Une découverte cuisine familiale japonaise authentique je suis passé par hasard & vraiment ouah ! Calme & de bon goûtView more
Bistro de quartier tenu par une famille japonaise, tout ce qu'il y a de plus traditionnel! Excellent sushis, comme au Japon! La clientèle japonaise permet rapidement de constater que c'est authentique. À ce jour, mon spot préféré pour des sushis à Montréal. Pas la place pour les sushis "fusion" avec bcp trop de friture, mayo, sauce & décorations tape-à-l'oeil. Au Bistro Furusato, la carte des sushis plaira aux connaisseurs de nigiri/sashimi, & des makis sans flafla. Des poissons & fruits de mer frais. Même le edamame semble se démarquer! (Mon amie japonaise dit qu'ils s'approvisionnent d'edamame japonais, ça explique!) J'y retourne de temps en temps, & à chaque fois je prends des sushis, bien que j'aie aussi goûté à une entrée cette fois (Agedashi tofu). Je dois vraiment essayer leurs autres plats au menu! Bémol: ne pas être pressé. C'est vrai que ça peut prendre du temps, surtout si c'est occupé. Ce n'est pas de la restaurant rapide après tout.View more
