One of the GTA’s most enchanting dining experiences unfolds in this intimate, six-seat gem of a room. Chef Masaki Hashimoto works within the kaiseki tradition, which stretches back 500 years to Buddhist tea ceremonies. Authentic and refined multi-course kaiseki menus bring dishes prepared from seasonal ingredients and painstakingly presented: a typical garnish might be a delicate bird carved from white radish. The main course presents soy-spiked fish broth balancing cherry blossom–stained soba noodles, stewed eggplant and a chewy black sesame cake. Reservations must be made at least a week in advance so ingredients can be ordered from Japan. Oma­kase menus $100 or $150.
