Hating my Saturday afternoon at the Toronto Christmas Market until we walked into this place for a late lunch. Most of the lunch crowd already left when we arrived to an empty restaurant. Not knowing anything about this place we gave it a try. Japanese Manager/Server was taking care of us. The restaurant decor cleverly designed to fit into the locale of the Distrillery District but still felt Japanese. The open kitchen with Sushi bar added to the charm. We ordered a tofu appetizer and shared a premium sushi set. Excellent miso soup and salad came first followed by the tasty tofu appetizer, wish I could remember what it was called. But the treat was the nigiri sushi. Room temperature rice with excellent fish. The Japanese owner and chefs adds to the authentic experience. We got to know a little more the manager / Server after our meal. She said that they were the first restaurant in Toronto that served the Aburi style sushi with the torching. The owner also owns a Ramen shop in Toronto. I have eaten alot of sushi all over the world and in Tokyo. Very happy that the standards and the quality of the restaurants like this one in our little big city is becoming just as good...world class..where are you Michelin?
