Kirei was part of our sushi taste-off evening. My friends and I chose a sushi venue in the city (and one from Hamilton) to try their best house roll and spicy salmon roll. We took turns tasting each roll and grading them.
Contenders included:
-Japango (Elizabeth St and Queen)
-Big sushi (bloor st w)
-Kokyo (Young and Grosevener)
-Kokoro sushi (lakeshore and Yonge)
-Joya (Hamilton)
And the winners were....
-best house roll: Big sushi
-best spicy salmon: Joya
Overall, we loved every roll we tried. Rice was extra sweet from Joya. Big sushi had tasty filling. Kokyo was 'man sized' very generous servings. Japango was delicate. Kirei...tasted great, but compared to all the places we tried it was middle of the road. Kokoro was exceptionally well priced.
