| - Amazing Omakase experience for a fraction of the price!
Came here with my husband on a weeknight and it happened to be the chef's birthday as well. He explained that we should eat the sushi as soon as it is made, preferably in one bite with our hands as it it done the traditional way, and that's how we both attempted to do it, though sometimes the "fish" was too big and required two bites (though this is not a complaint!).
The quality of the food was spectacular-easily one of the best sushi we've had in Toronto, and we have Japanese food (not the AYCE kind) around once a week! The rice was seasoned perfectly with the right balance of sweet and sour, and the fish were extremely fresh. Each bite was a pleasant surprise of flavour in the mouth. We had a variety of tuna like Akamai, Chutoro, and Otoro, and others like Hotate (scallop), Kanpachi, Ikura, Ebi, and Uni, just to name a few. The scallop was definitely the best we've had in Toronto, with a hint of sweetness. The tuna pieces were all melt-in-the-mouth regardless of the type. Even the seaweed they used to wrap around the Ikura and Uni had a unique smoky flavour and crispiness that we've never tasted elsewhere. When we were served our last "piece", the negitoro hand roll, we were already missing the experience and thinking of when our next visit would be.
This place is a definite must-try for lovers of quality sushi!
