JapaneseTorontosplurge

JaBistro is one of the best japanese restaurants in Toronto for special occasion, especially if you want a strong option in Toronto.

Aburi sushi — pressed, then finished with a pass of the blowtorch so the surface caramelizes against the cool rice — is a Vancouver invention that Toronto took its time embracing.
