There are five Japanese restaurants in Toronto that inspire slavish worship: Hiro, Kaji, Mye, Japango and Ichiriki. Chef Riki displays impeccable knife skills, perfect rice and unbeatably fresh fish. Lightly charred beef tataki is meltingly tender. Urajiro—battered shiitake mushrooms packed with minced shrimp—are greaseless and fantastically earthy. Wakame is the real deal: delicate red and green algae fronds are tossed with a sweet vinaigrette and garnished with a lone tender shrimp. The sashimi shines—B.C. tuna melts on the tongue, and a thick cut of salmon is sweet, silky and buttery rich. The kitchen misfires with cooked dishes; fried breaded oysters taste like fish sticks, and the grilled squid is tough. Better to save room for a scoop of ginger ice cream. Mains $18–$29.
