       # Restaurant Awards 2024: The Best Upscale Japanese Restaurants in
       Vancouver
        
       Impeccable sushi and artfully executed Japanese standards are the name
       of the game at Vancouver's highest-level Japanese restaurants.
        
       ## The Best Upscale Japanese Restaurants in Vancouver 2024
        
       ### Gold: **Okeya Kyujiro**
        
       "Magical." "Immersive." "Transported and transformed." When you see
       these words on the Restaurant Awards scorecard, you've found a winner.
       Such was the case with the reviews for gold winner **Okeya Kyujiro** ,
       where the omakase experience left our judges raving. The theatrical,
       over-the-top service is worth the visit in and of itself—recalling
       elements of kabuki—but dishes like freshly grilled unagi or delicately
       cross-hatched toro are what really steal the show.

       ### Silver: Masayoshi
        
       Nigiri is silver winner **Masayoshi** 's specialty, each exquisite
       creation a jewel of a bite. "So many wow moments," said one judge.
       "The beautiful, pristine fish, exceptional knife skills, impeccable
       plating—this is high art."
