| - Hands down, the best sushi place in Toronto. The interior may not appear as fancy-schmancy as their other store, Nami, and the waitresses may not be wearing kimonos, but the chefs here make one hell of a presentation in their omakase set menus.
Omakase Menu:
Three options - $80 (A), $100 (B) or $120 (C)
With Omakase C, there was approximately 14 dishes. We were so stuffed, we had to pack some food to take home.
1. Appetizer Box - This intricate box, is filled with bite sized samples including, egg roll wrapped around eel, grilled eggplant, shrimp, smoked salmon, roasted chestnut and smoked duck breast. Oh em gee, everything in this box was delicious.
2. Clear Broth - I think the purpose of this soup is to wash away the taste of the previous dish, so it was A-OK. The broth consisted of Japanese mushrooms and a shrimp paste ball.
3. Cholesterol in a Shell - an oyster topped with uni (sea urchin) and quail egg yolk. Take this as a shot, and you won't be disappointed.
4. Fluke Sashimi Platter - Thinly sliced and dipped in special soy sauce.
5. Mackerel Sashimi - Beautiful presentation and very very fresh. You won't like this dish if you don't like overly fishy taste.
6. Lobster Sashimi - Two large pieces of raw lobster with an edible purple flower on top, simmered in sesame sauce. Yum.
7. Black Cod and Tiger Prawn - This is my favourite. The cod was so effing good, the skin was nice and crispy and the meat so tender.. gosh I want one right now. The ginger is extremely salty for some reason, so you've been warned.
8. Beef Sashimi Wrap - This dish was A-OK. The beef was a bit tough, and the onions and shallots inside didn't really hit the spot for me.
9. Toro (Fatty Tuna) Sashimi - Two pieces of melt-in-your-mouth awesomeness. Use minimal soy sauce to get the whole experience, I loved this!
10. Deep Fried Rainbow Trout - The fish bones are fried as well, you can eat it like chips! The trout is very tender and goes well with the ponzu sauce. They gave us 3 servings of this for 6 people, we had to take some home.
11. Steamed Egg w/ Uni - This custard is served cold in a small cup. You'll find the sea urchin near the bottom!
12. Nigiri Platter - By this point I was already so full, but I must try everything! This platter is beautifully presented with the most delicious salmon I've tasted, and tuna sashimi, king prawn, and hamachi egg roll. LOVED this.
13. Lobster Paper Pot - WHAT?! More food? This paper pot is boiled at the table, and you get to pick the remaining meat and brains of the lobster your lobster sashimi came from. No food wasted!
14. Dessert: Sake/Chocolate Mousse cake - The sake mousse on top is subtly sweet with a distinct taste of the sake. The blueberry and strawberry were really fresh and sweet as well!
The service is also top-notch! I have no complaints at all! Our waitress was Yuko, and her smile is so genuine that you're bound to enjoy your meal!
Time to save up for my next visit! The cheaper Omakases will have less dishes, and will not include certain sashimi like toro.
Tip: They will validate your ticket if you park underground at Brookfield Place!
