Top 3 omakase in Calgary in my opinion. All the courses are crafted to a perfect state of flavor. Tastes are mixed balanced.

I can definitely see why this place is so highly rated. We booked the kaiseki omakase, and were absolutely blown away by how unique and fresh the food was. The highlights for me were the hand pulled duck udon, the wagyu/foie Gras sushi, the Sesame tofu (?) appetizer, and of course everything on the sashimi platter. My partner loved the barracuda. We were also surprised how much food they provided and also the quality of it all. Plus the yuzu sake was to die for, and the service was top notch. I can't believe we can find such authentic japanese food here in Alberta, it truly is a hidden gem. We will definitely be back again!

Absolutely incredible experience. This small, intimate Japanese restaurant in Cochrane is a true hidden gem. You can tell the owners put their heart and soul into everything they do — from the carefully crafted menu to the warm, personal service. It’s not your typical walk-in spot; you need to book and order in advance so they can prepare fresh, high-quality dishes, but trust me, it’s more than worth the effort. The food is authentic and full of flavour, and the whole experience feels like being welcomed into someone’s home. Our server explained everything that we ate and a recommendation on how to eat it. We came here for my birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Love the people, love the food — I can’t wait to go back.

Super fresh sushi, even it is pricey but DEFINITELY worth it. Yummy! Must-try for someone traveling from Banff to Calgary or vice versa. I am 10/10 recommended:)

Super friendly staff working there. Food is exceptional with a great experience. Explained all the food you were eating and where it comes from. Been here before but would definitely recommend and would come back. 10/10 both times we've been here. Make sure to make a reservation before coming.

I went back here a few years after moving away from Cochrane - and the lady owner remembered me ? This is the finest community sushi house I have been to. Excellent food. And people that really care. Forget Shokunin. This is where it’s at.

This is by far one of the best authentic Japanese restaurants around Calgary area. Everything we tried was absolutely awesome in taste and in presentation. The service was one of the best we had in a while as well. The decor and the ambiance of the restaurant is really good too. I'd encourage all sushi lovers in the area to try Azito Japanese restaurant at least once. This is what I'd clasify as a hidden gem!!
This is easily one of the top sushi places Canada. The Ora King Salmon Toro sashimi was spectacular, and the saba sushi roll was brilliant.
What’s on the plate is in stark contrast to spartan decor, website, difficult reservation system, and the fact that you need to preorder certain dishes in advance by email.
But if you are here for the food, this place is worth the drive for sure. Their lunch special makes for an affordable way to try this place.
