Thanks Improvius, I didn’t get to check out Fune but I did go to Kaji in Etobicoke. WOW, one of the better Japanese experiences I’ve had in Canada. Pricey but the food and sake were excellent. Strongly recommended! Looking forward to checking out your recommendations next time for sure!

And just so you know, the sushi at Fune is decent, but not really as good as Nami. It has a boat-style sushi bar, which can actually be a lot of fun if you’re in the right frame of mind for it.

Hey Improvius, I have not but I’m planning to be in Toronto next week on Business so I’m going to see if I can find it. Can’t find much about Golden Crest on-line so perhaps it’s not imported into the lower 48? Thanks for the tip though, looking forward to checking it out. My personal favorite right now is Gokyo, dollar for dollar it’s the best value I’ve found, at least in NYC. I had some of their reserve and it was truly outstanding.

Have you tried Fune? It has a couple of decent sakes, including one of our favorites: Okunomatsu Kinmon (Golden Crest) Sake. We’ve been trying to find it in the states, but so far the only places that seem to have it are Canadian restaurants.
