Honestly, the best Japanese Izakaya restaurant I have been to in Toronto!!! Eat your heart out, Guu!
Hamachi Carpaccio: Must-try! The yellowtail is so tender and flavorful! I'm not a fan of overly tart and citrusy flavors so I really appreciate how the lemon wedge is placed on the side so you can dictate how tart you want the dish to be! Normally I don't order carpaccio because it is overly tart but I'm so glad I took the risk this time!
Stone Grilled Beef Tongue: Really chewy but good if you are a big red eat meater which I'm not. Ordered for the kick of cooking the beef on the hot stone, but I'm Asian, so it equates to eating hot pot, that's why I'm neutral on this dish.
Marinated Kaisen Don: All kinds of wonderful! The salmon caviar just adds a lovely texture when you pop the litle bubbles in your mouth!
Spicy Chopped Tuna Battera: Another must-try! The sushi was so tender that you could split the sushi with your chopsticks! The equivalent of letting a knife slice easily through steak! It was heaven! All sushi should be pressed in my opinion but not realistic alas! So is life. Haha.
Pork Tantan Ramen: My friend had this and let me try a little. I don't want to judge it based off my bite but it tasted really good. It is different from traditional ramen though so if you're a traditionalist about your ramen like me it might not suit your personal preference.
Brown rice tea: Very high quality, with a unique almond flavor which was heaven for this tea lover!
All in all, the food was incredible, the quality of the sashimi was undeniable and the service was great. They didn't notice us leaving until we were near the exit, but when they did finally notice, the waiter ran towards us just so he could open the door for us!
