This is honestly my favourite sushi place in toronto... How am I only discovering it after 4 years?!
Sat at the sushi bar, chef greeted us warmly when we arrive. Service was good, food was good and even the dessert and sake was good too!
Fish I love (lighter, less fat)
1) Shima aji
2) Kanpachi
3) Hamachi
either sashimi or sushi
4) The Hamachi grilled neck (didn't see it on the menu but asked the waiter for grilled fish - VERY GOOD- I only ate the boneless part and it was heavenly)
Food I think its ok but this place made it great
1) Toro (Normally I don't really like toro cuz its fat but this place has the perfect sized sushi and sashimi! Can't complain!!)
2) foie gras sushi (a pile of fat that melts in your mouth : ))
3) BANANA fried - i meant tempura ( :o very very good and not oily and heavy like most places ive tried)
4) pudding The sweetness is just right for me to not waste any food
Things I feel ok about
1) Could have less soggy seaweed on the side for the ikura (salmon roe? fish eggs. ) But maybe that's the way to have it what do i know
2) Agedashi tofu - tastes different (or actually better- tofu was soooo soft and hot on the inside) from the usual less authentic places but I'm kinda used to that inauthentic taste
3) grilled ika (squid)- a bit too hard for my liking (braces suck)
Things I still want to order but the bill is getting pretty hefty so next time
1) More shima aji
2) UNI (sea urchin) - handroll if they have it
3) Anago sushi (the not barbecued sea eel, i feel like not a lot of places have them)
4) Tamago sushi (sweet egg sushi)
5) cold tofu (hiyayako)
6) Yaki nasu (grilled eggplant not it the sweet sauce)
