| - This place is really fun to go to. It's like a lively casual Izakaya with more upscale food and cocktails. The atmosphere and food feels/tastes like something totally new and unexpected, transports you out of Toronto. Love the glass garage doorway hung with little vintage saki cans. It's amazing that it appears to be in an old garage. Actually around 4.5 stars, 5 for the atmosphere, 4 for the creative and delicious food, 4.5 for the service. Service is friendly/casual, young but very quick and attentive. The food is a few steps above typical izakaya food, with creative flavors and everything was perfectly cooked with fantastic textures. We had the eggplant with crispy beets, hamachi tartare, okra, and curry and katsu buns (ordered best to good) The vegetables were surprisingly delicious, so rich and flavorful enough to be a full meal. We had Asahi and it went with the food really well, however the cocktails looked good too. The buns were mostly fast-food like, way above average bar food, and very satisfying if you're hungry! Can't wait to go back and try everything else.
