| - Location/Service
In the silver star blvd plaza (where Destiny and Deer Garden is), lots of parking available - but it does get pretty busy during lunch/dinner hours.
Inside has a very nice decor with interesting Japanese style furniture. Staff were friendly and provided recommendations on what's popular.
Food
Tried a few items off their menu.
Black Diamond Roll - this is fusion sushi, which has gold flakes, caviar, fois gras, unagi and purple rice. It is heavy in taste, but everything blends well together. If you are not into fatty liver, then it's not your choice. But I really enjoyed it and you can tasty all different layer.
Grilled Mackerel - this dish (I believe) has limited quantities for the night. Essentially it's grilled fish in ponzu sauce. I like the sauce that makes the fish less dry, but the fish was a little over cooked in my tasting.
Rice with tea. I couldn't remember the exact name of this dish, but it has ikura (salmon fish eggs), rice and you add tea to it. I always like this dish cause it has a light taste, healthy for the body and you can control how much tea to add.
The last one I tried were chicken skewers. This was as expected to taste, grilled to the right timing and with a nice sauce that's marinated into it.
Overall, I think this place is alright for a close by izakaya in Markham. They have plenty of seatings, so perfect for larger groups trying a variety of items
