The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and everything is made to order. Curry is always on the menu at lunch along with Black Cod Miso.   'The Iceberg" a refreshing wedge of cold lettuce with shaved daikon and shiso on a sea of ponzu is a favorite. The San Jose fresh handmade tofu in sauces have won over even the most discerning critics.

Grilled Tri-Tip over Yasu vegetables with Brown Butter Daikon relish is ordered often although some make special trips for the Crispy Creamy Kani-Maki or the cubes of Duck Breast, spicy Garlic Egglpand and a sweet Ginger Miso.

Divided into Greens, On Land and from the Sea, with a daily fresh fish Chef's choice, the menu changes so you will always find something new to your liking. Seasonality, great combinations of tastes and visual appeal are Chef Yasukawa's forte.

The Concept...no sushi or miso soup here. What we do have is a Modern twist on traditional Japanese dining. YASU is a fourth generation Japanese-American, classically trained in Japanese cuisine and a graduate of the California Culinary Academy. He has also worked with Wolfgang Puck and Nobu Matsuhisa in Las Vegas and New York. This concept is two decades in the making.

Mini-Bio of Chef Brett Yasukawa

Brett grew up in and around San Jose's Japantown.
It's always been a part of his life. He's been recruited by the likes of Wolfgang Puck for Chinois/Las Vegas and Chef Nobu Matsuhisa for NOBU in Las Vegas and New York where he developed the tasting menu and in charge of staff support and training.

He's also worked at Sushi-Ran in Sausalito, California, Tokie's Japanese Cuisine in Foster City, Higashi-West Euro-Asian Cuisine in Palo Alto. CA.

In Japantown San Jose, he's working on his own menu in what he calls 'yonsei-cuisine'. Some call it fusion. Others call it gourmet. At YASU's it's always tastefully balanced and thoughtfully presented.

Fine dining in a relaxed family serving style with Chef Brett Yasukawa at your service.
