    So... I was in Fergus on business and I needed a quick bite a dinnertime. I was starving at this point as I had skipped out on lunch to do some extra work (what can I say, I am a sucker for that sort of thing) and was craving for some sushi. I spotted Ikiru Sushi and made a bee-line for the place. I ordered the Chirash suishi and I was impressed! Lots of tasty fish on top of a layer of sushi rice, it was better than I had thought it would be (in the sushi hinterlands of Fergus) and I finished in record time to get back to work (again, I am a sucker for that sort of thing). I kept thinking back to the Chirash, wondering, maybe it tasted good because I was so very hungry. So I came back again after a few weeks and ordered again (this time, I wasn't on the clock, so to speak, and although I wasn't starving, I was ready to eat) and this time I was as impressed as I was before. This was the real deal! If you are looking for sushi and you are in Fergus, this is the place!

    Sushi Masayuki - Tuna with pickled radish (Torotaku)

    We tried this place for the first time today. Excellent…read moresushi, fresh and tasty. Employees are super friendly. We will come back for sure.

    My wife took me to Sushi Masayuki for lunch for my 46th birthday. We've been here numerous times…read morefor dinner since they opened, but this was the first time for lunch. For some additional context, my wife is Japanese, and having been to Japan numerous times over the years, it's hard not to compare the quality of fresh fish to what we have available here.  This is one of the reasons why we've kept coming back to this restaurant, because it's on par with what you would get at an excellent sushi restaurant in Japan. For our meal, we both ordered the Masayuki Tasting Sushi Lunch. The meal started off with 3 types of tempura (shrimp, okura and pumpkin), along with an egg with eel in the middle called "umaki". There was also braised eggplant in a dashi broth.  Each of these dishes were exceptional quality.  I especially love the braised eggplant since we've had this as an appetizer on previous visits.  The second dish we had was octopus with "yuzu kosho", which is a paste made from chili peppers, yuzu peel and salt.  We were also served sashimi pieces which included greater amberjack and tuna.  The sashimi essentially melts in your mouth and you can taste the quality of fish since the flavours are prominent.  In addition to the fish, the dish was presented with shiso (perilla leaf), wakame, radish, shaved daikon, and shaved Indian carrot as part of the presentation.   The third dish was a set of nigiri, which was served one at a time as you eat them.  This dish contained sea bass, salmon, tuna, scallop, Japanese Spanish mackerel, and amberjack.  As was with the sashimi, you can tell the fish is high quality since each piece is buttery and melts in your mouth.  This was also the first time I've had Japanese Spanish mackerel, and it was absolutely delicious. The dish was also served with a side of miso soup which has a very nice flavour while not being overly strong.  The fourth dish in the set were rolls which consisted of tuna with pickled radish. My wife explained that tuna and pickled radish (torotaku) are put together in a way to melt the fish in your mouth, plus provide the crunch with the radish. When we were speaking with Chef Masayuki, he mentioned that umaki and torotaku were unique to this particular lunch set, and not something you'd see on a regular menu. Finally, for dessert, we were served green tea ice cream with a sesame senbei on top, along with green tea cheese cake. Both the ice cream and cheese cake were amazing. Neither of them had a lingering aftertaste like you'd get with a cheaper quality of green tea. This is something I'm extremely picky about, and was extremely satisfied with.  When speaking with our waitress, she mentioned that both the sesame senbei and green tea cheese cake are made in-house - which you can absolutely tell due to the quality and overall flavour.  As with previous visits, we walked away quite full and extremely satisfied with our meal.
