| - When we arrived in Toronto, it was kind of late and we were tired and hungry. Kintaro Japanese Restaurant is located in Gay Village in Toronto. It was packed and we waited a short while for a wooden booth with cushioned seats.
Since it was chilly night, we decided to warm up with cups of hot Japanese Green Tea.
We shared a few appetizers including Agedashi Tofu, Sashimi Sampler, and Yakitori as well as two Ramen.
The Agedashi Tofu consisted of deep fried soft tofu served with radish and scallion in a dashi broth.
The Sashimi Sampler consisted of three kinds of chef choice sashimi - seared butter fish, tuna, and salmon. The fish selection was fresh and rather unique.
For grilled meats, there was a minimum of two orders so we ordered two Momo Negi and one Sagari. The Momo Negi consisted of grilled chicken thigh marinated in teriyaki and spring onion served on a skewer. The Sagari consisted of grilled beef tenderloin marinated in a karubi sauce served on a skewer on top of grated daikon.
For Ramen, we shared the Sapporo Miso Ramen and Nagasaki Ramen. Both of the ramen had the same type of vegetables including mushroom, soybeans, cabbage, carrot, scallion, and bok Chou. The only differences were the type of protein and broth base. The Sapporo Miso Ramen had ground pork in a pork, miso paste, and Sapporo broth whether as the Nagasaki Ramen had squid, octopus, and shrimp in a seafood broth.
