The best japanese in Toronto hands down!: Last night I had the privilege of being fed by Mr Kaji at his sushi bar of his understated fine dining Japanese restaurant. Located in a strip mall in the middle of nowhere (aka Etobicoke), this place is a real gem and likely the best and most authentic Japanese restaurant I have been to in Toronto. We opted for the all out option on the omakase menu which consisted of 8 masterly crafted dishes starting with marinated sea bream, leading to fishcakes, then a duck and eggplant dish, then a tray of outstanding sushi including toro tartar, rainbow trout and lobster, onto a sushi platter and then finally a delicious green tea dessert. You must sit at the sushi bar if you get the chance to go as it is all about watching the chef's attention to detail right in front of you. To top it off, one of the chef's spent at least 20 minutes crafting edible flowers for us to look at as part of the experience. I will be back! Great work Mr. Kaji!
