| - Wow! This was by far the best Japanese place I have ever been to! Mind you, this was the first expensive Japanese restaurant I've been to, but the food was still absolutely wonderful! We had the cheapest menu which was $80 per person for a 7 course meal. There are two other options for a little more money, but the $80 one satisfied us thoroughly. The food was out if this world good from start to finish. I would go on to write what we had to eat, but I cannot remember the exact names of the things we ate. They do have a la carte items if you don't want to do the whole prix fixe menu.
As for the service, probably the best i've had in toronto. We went on a wednesday evening and were the only ones there at one point, but regardless, as soon as I finished my last sip of sake, the server was there to fill it up again. The server explained each course in detail and was very well knowledged about the items. We sent our compliments and a glass of sake to the chef, and he came out and enjoyed some sake with us.
As for the sake, that is another thing to talk about! It is not your typical warm sake garbage you find at your cheap sushi places. The sake list had about 40 different sakes, and some of which you will not find anywhere in the city. I'm not very big on sake, but my dinner guest was a sake enthusiast. He goes to very fancy Japanese restaurants frequently in his hometown of San Fran Cali. and he has been to japan several times. He actually chose the restaurant based on their sake list and he was thoroughly, and I mean thoroughly impresssed. And let me tell you, it was sake like I have never tasted sake before!
Ok, I think I have ranted and raved about Kaiseki-Sakura enough, but go go GO! It would be perfect for a nice date, anniversary, birthday, or any special occassion for people who love authentic japenese cuisine. Well done!!!!
