Japanese Izakaya Bar at Gastown in Vancouver

[ Seared Black Cod Carpaccio ]

Lightly torched black cod layered with ume, bonito, garlic dressing, and a touch of yuzu.
Finished with myoga, shiso, green onion, and semi-dried tomato for a balance of freshness and umami. ✨

Delicate, refreshing, and surprisingly complex, with each ingredient bringing its own layer of flavour.

A recent addition to our menu that’s quickly becoming a guest favourite !

After an incredible journey since day one, our manager Taketo (Bluejoy) has graduated from OKU.

From the very beginning, Taketo has been one of the pillars of the OKU team, supporting everyone and helping shape what OKU is today.

We are beyond grateful for everything Taketo has brought to the team and wish nothing but success in the next chapter.

Thank you, Taketo. 💛

Cold again today? This is exactly the kind of dish we crave on days like this. 🍲

Our Iberico Pork & Mochi Nikusui is a comforting dashi stew made with Iberico pork shoulder, enoki mushrooms, onions, fried tofu, fresh green onion, and soft fried mochi.

Gentle, deeply savoury, and full of warming Japanese flavours that let the dashi truly shine through.

One of those dishes that quietly keeps guests coming back to OKU lately.

Shiso shochu and bonito dashi soda, finished with sesame, aonori, and fresh oba. 🌿
Light, crisp, and deeply refreshing for warmer days like today.

The savoury dashi and fresh shiso make it especially satisfying after richer dishes or fried food — cleansing the palate while keeping the flavour experience going.

A uniquely Japanese cocktail you’ll only find at OKU.
Muramatsu Sour ✨

Break the egg and mix it all together. ✨

Rich wagyu tartar, creamy poached egg, bright ume sauce, pickled napa cabbage, pistachio, and layers of texture in every bite.

Our renewed Wagyu Tartar is inspired by the original OKU favourite, now reimagined with even more depth, balance, and umami.

Scoop it with crispy nori and enjoy the contrast of creamy, savoury, crunchy, and fresh all at once.
