Sushi Masaki Saito@Toronto ★★★

Excellent Michelin Star Sushi Omakase. Best Sushi Ever. Used to be 2 Michelin Stars. Fresh fish from Japan. Chef Saito prepared the Shari (Sushi Rice) himself in front of everyone using 2 kinds of red vinegar. They changed from serious to a more fun & friendly vibe. Amazing sommelier Benjamin. $780 CAD per person. Corkage fee $200 CAD. Refillable Hot Green Tea $15. Metered street parking or $15 at Whole Foods paid lot across the street.
