About Us

Bar Shozan: Experience genuine Japanese tapas (Otsumami, おつまみ), and Toronto’s best curated sake selection!

At Bar Shozan, Chef Kohei Matsuyama is dedicated to providing tasty Japanese cuisine that is accessible to everyone. With over 35 years of experience and Edo-Kaiseki training from Tokyo's Prince Hotel and Katsura in Toronto, Chef Kohei is the real deal. He doesn't believe in the exclusivity of kaiseki and omakase restaurants and, instead, wants to share his love of Japanese food with everyone—and not just the select few.

At Bar Shozan, it's not just about food. Dive into Toronto’s best curated sake selection, handpicked by our Tokyo-trained sake sommelier, Squid-Ti (二世🇨🇦🇯🇵). Each bottle tells a story, and we invite you to explore this journey with us.

For those familiar with Chef Kohei's legendary legacy at Kon-nichi-wa, you're aware of his unwavering commitment to delivering unparalleled dining experiences with exceptional value. Join us at Bar Shozan to continue this gastronomic adventure, and discover why our blend of flavor, ambiance, and passion is truly unmatched.
