Yesterday felt like Thanksgiving at Fukasaku.

In the morning, Dai headed down to the docks to pick up the first Dungeness crabs of the season from our friends aboard the Nanruss (thank you, Captain Dean Alexander Mark Wagner !).

Then he stopped by Aero Trading to pick up the season’s first Skeena sockeye salmon from the Tyee Test Fishery.
In the evening, we received our harvest share, filled with beautiful, lovingly grown vegetables from Farmer Cam.
Later that night, we hosted a private dinner for the residents and crew of The World, the luxury residential cruise ship. They loved our West Coast seafood and fresh local produce, left with big smiles and compliments.

It sure was a long day, but how lucky are we to be surrounded by some of the finest seafood and produce in the world!

We had the privilege of serving Sir Richard Branson and friends this afternoon at Fukasaku.

He came to town on the Virgin Brilliant Lady cruise, visited a few places around Prince Rupert, and we were fortunate to be one of them.

It was truly an honour to share our omakase experience featuring local sustainable seafood from the Northwest Coast — F***y Bay oysters, black cod, Chinook and sockeye salmon, albacore tuna, and spot prawns — as well as garlic flower salt from WoodGrain Farm, Island Chili Oil from Salt Spring gaia Food, and our house-made Fukasaku sauces.

Not only did he enjoy every dish, he also left us this incredibly kind note on the menu.
Moments like this remind us how special Prince Rupert and our local food community truly are — and how incredible sustainable seafood can be when it’s treated with care and respect.

Thank you so much for visiting us and enjoying everything!

On March 1, we hosted our first Salmon in Schools fundraiser, raising funds to put locally caught salmon directly into school meals.

and Fukasaku came together to serve a seven-course multicultural dinner created by Prince Rupert chefs, celebrating our local salmon.

This initiative will help provide students with more culturally relevant and nutritious food while also supporting our local fishing economy by purchasing locally caught fish.
Our first event raised over $17,500.

Chef Dai believes learning food culture is as important as learning language. If you don’t grow up with it, you often have to learn it later in life.

Growing up in Japan, where food traditions have been passed down through generations, he absorbed food culture naturally without even realizing it. It wasn’t until he moved to Prince Rupert and began talking about food with Indigenous friends—who shared their deep knowledge and generosity—that he truly recognized how fortunate he was to grow up surrounded by such a strong food culture. Those conversations inspired him to learn even more about Japanese food traditions so he could share them in return.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this possible. We’re grateful to be part of a community that supports local food, local fishers, and future generations.

Japan Eats 2026 No. 4 (Final!)

On this year’s trip, I intentionally sought out small, intimate establishments. As a small restaurant owner/operator myself, I wanted to feel the energy and vibe of these places—and to share what genuine Japanese food is really like. From a 10-seat soba joint open only for lunch to a 16-seat high-end Japanese fusion spot, I watched owners and chefs pour their hearts into every detail. Their love, pride, and dedication were truly inspiring—it reminded me how important it is to bring the same care and respect to every dish we serve.

We’re back in business, refreshed and motivated to showcase West Coast seafood and local produce to both locals and visitors. Food is more than sustenance—it’s art, a way to pass down culture, and a form of self-expression. We feel incredibly grateful for the chance to take this break and continue doing what we love with the amazing local products around us.

We are launching something very meaningful for the community and we need your help!!

🐟 Did you know?

We are incredibly fortunate to have access to five species of wild Pacific salmon right here in our region:
Sockeye, Chinook, Chum, Pink, and Coho.

Salmon is more than food here — it is deeply connected to the culture, history, and identity of our local communities.

And yet, Prince Rupert has the highest urban child poverty rate in BC — 25.9%, compared to the provincial average of 16.7%.

We want to help ensure that every student has access to healthy, local food, so they can appreciate culturally important foods, learn about local traditions, and enjoy nutritious meals — and you can help.

There are three ways you can support this initiative:

• Make a cash donation
• Join us at our very first fundraiser dinner, featuring a 7-course multicultural meal highlighting local salmon created by Nadia, Janelle, myself, and dessert by CHHH students
• If you are a business, donate items for our silent auction

If you’re interested, please send me a private message or email [email protected] for ways to contribute.
All funds go directly to SD52 Salmon in Schools to purchase salmon for kids.

✨ Every little bit counts.
Together, we can make a real difference for children in our community.

Omakase Nigiri Lunch

Truly impressed by the quality of every piece they served.
The chef clearly puts so much love and respect into his ingredients.
At first glance, the nigiri may look simple, but each one was incredibly sophisticated. The moment you place a piece in your mouth, you can’t help but smile—both for the flavor and out of gratitude to the chef.
Deeply impressive, and a philosophy we would love to bring into Fukasaku.

2nd week of this years trip includes Spanish tapas , cousin's gathering at neighbourhood favorite .kinuta , road trip to Yatsugatake, and of course, a few ramen stops — including which was one of the best bowls on this trip so far.

Everything was so delicious, and endlessly motivating.

It’s been a week since I came back to Japan.
Soaking in the flavors of Tokyo and Hokkaido.
Being home, eating food that inspires and re-energizes me — this is where motivation comes from.
