This is the first time that I heard a new authentic Japanese restaurant had opened up in Richmond Hill. So of course being the Japanese foodie lover that I am I, I totally had to go try it out!
Now in my tests I usually like to go for the basics, but they had a very limited menu. I looked at both the lunch and dinner.
So we'll start with the standard miso soup and salad.
The miso, was very basic white miso mixed with water. No bonito flavour.
The salad dressing was served on the side and I think that's in house made with a hint of yuzu flavour made the salad very fresh and refreshing.
Now for basics I usually like to order a serving of the agedashi tofu (deep fried tofu) since that wasn't on the menu, we ordered the tempura, a sushi and a sashimi lunch.
The tempura was light and not too oily. Excellent.
The fish was very fresh and they served it in various styles. Torched and fresh.
Prices were a little steep but considering the area I guess it's acceptable.
In other reviews it mentions slow service, however we received quite excellent and quick service.
We will definitely go back to try their dinner menu!
