| - I ordered a chirashi supreme for dinner and tasted love. This $28 thing is proof of a higher power. They even had seared sashimi and it's a LOT of stuff! Their rice has sushi vinegar which was absolutely lovely, with grilled unagi and some fried mushrooms in top, and sesame. It was divine. Sashimi was very fresh and the piece of lime they gave helped elevate the flavours. It was beautiful.
This is a very tiny restaurant, practically a hole in the wall. The sign is tattered and faded out, and there probably aren't more than 10 tables inside. It was a bit stuffy when we went in (outside was like 14 degrees) so it was a huge difference in temp going in. I'm by no means large but it was tough getting into the seats. I don't know how people get in in the winter because a coat would have taken up the space of two seats!
Their tables were a bit tiny. When our orders came with our drinks, we had to play Tetris with the dishes and cups to make sure nothing fell. Dinner and entertainment for sure.
Although it's tiny, I like the coziness of it. It really adds a level of intimacy.
Also, not my table, but the next table over had a regular. The staff gave her her own chopsticks (as opposed to the disposable ones us peasants get) and she was delighted. The sushi chef talked with her and was very personable. What a smart move to hook customers in!
Food was 5/5, the plum wine was a bit too sweet for my liking, and I like plum wine in general. Seating was a 3/5 (too squishy), ambience is 4/5 (cozy but too stuffy). Good thing they don't have teppanyaki because I'm sure everyone in the restaurant would have sweated buckets.
I def recommend this lovely place. I need to find more reasons to frequent this hidden Toronto gem.
