So far, I’ve given some tutorials on how to make Japanese food at home. So I would assume that another purpose of this blog is to voice my opinion on what are some of the bet Japanese food options while in Toronto, incase you aren’t the cooking type (but of course it is always nice to go out for a good meal!).

Today I will post about Toshi Sushi（敏寿司：としずし）which is one of the places I consider to have the best sushi in Toronto. I happened to go in for dinner yesterday with my girlfriend and a few friends, so I snapped some pictures.
A shot from the outside taken after we left. Although the OPEN sign appears to be broken, it is actually one of those flashing OPEN signs. So no, it isn’t broken. The place itself is rather small (by Canadian standards I suppose), and I’m assuming it seats 30 - 50 customers at max capacity. I’ll give the directions at the end of the post. (more…)

Those who are subscribed to my youtube channel will have noticed that I put out a Japanese Karei Raisu (Curry Rice) tutorial video. I am not overly pleased with the turn out of the video, but decided to put it up anyways. If you are interested in making some curry rice, I will provide the ingredients and instructions here as well.

Just for some background information: Japanese Curry is a popular dish in Japan and is many times consumed in the form of curry rice (half the plate being curry, the other half being rice). It is slightly thicker than other forms of curry (such as Indian curry), as well as sweeter/milder, and is also making me very hungry just talking about it right now. (more…)

No, not the old English pastime of hitting balls through hoops. The Japanese snack (actually derived from the french food of the same name croquette), Korokke (コロッケ) is quite the delicious snack. Korokke usually consists of mashed potatoes, ground beef or seafood and is covered in flour, coated with egg and panko (Japanese bread crumbs), then deep fried. It bears similarity to hash browns, if you were to somehow relate it to the North American diet.

The best part is you don’t have to go all the way to Japan to have a taste of Korokke, because if you’re up to it I’m going to teach you how to make them right now! Yes, I know… this blog is awesome, tell all your friends. Okay first off I’ll tell you what you need, and you can find everything at your local Chinese or Korean (or Japanese if you’re that lucky) grocery store. (more…)
