I found my Toronto version of Yo Taisho. Colorful menu, reasonable prices, grilled stuff, noodles, shochu and beer. It's loud, informal and basically the way it should be. Some hits, some misses, but more hits than misses. Hits: ginger fried chicken, hay smoked sashimi, tako wasabi, tuna carpaccio, green tea mousse.
Good for: drinking and eating and drinking some more.
