| - A perfect Japanese izakaya in the heart of downtown Toronto? Yes please!
This was the best meal we had in Toronto. We came here just after driving through a blizzard, and I was starving. I needed a few drinks after the trip too. We had to wait a bit for a table, since it was a Saturday night, but we went around the corner to a cozy little Starbucks, and had a cup of coffee to pass the time.
Once we were seated, everything was great. The service was on point, and the food came out so fast. I was excited to see they had sochu, and could make us a couple of chu-hi cocktails!
We had the tuna tataki, which was fresh, and with just a bit of a sear on it. I was so excited to see they had takoyaki, grilled octopus balls, and it was great, with just the perfect amount of sauce. The unagi doria was good, but there was something weird about having cheese on my unagi. We finished with okonomiyaki, which a lot of people call a "Japanese pancake", but is so much more than that, with flavorful sauce and cabbage baked right in.
No, they don't have sushi, but not all Japanese food is sushi! I love that they had traditional izakaya food, and I would be here every weekend if I lived in Toronto.
