🇨🇦 Hidden Izakaya Gem on Ossington: Bar Shozan 🍶✨

Tucked away on Ossington, **Bar Shozan** is a tiny slice of Tokyo run by a Japanese grandpa-and-grandma duo (yes, grandma's RBF is oddly charming!). With only **8 counter seats**, this intimate spot transforms into a lively hub after 7:30pm - arrive early to snag a seat! **🍢 Must-Order Bites:** • **Shime Saba**: Vinegar-cured mackerel with **nutty sesame sauce** - so fresh it tastes ocean-kissed! 🐟 • **Pork Belly Yakiton**: **Local, hormone-free pork** skewers with addictive chew • **Eggplant Miso Dengaku**: **Caramelized miso glaze** meets silky roasted eggplant - umami bomb! 🍆 • **Agedashi Tofu + Crab**: Crispy tofu swimming in **bonito-kissed broth** with flaky crab (imitation) **🍸 Cocktail Magic:** • **My Own Private Tokyo**: Rum + matcha + cucumber tea = **Shinjuku alley vibes in a glass** 🥒 • **Shadows of Kabukicho**: Strawberry + sweet potato shochu = **a neon-lit night out** 🍓 **💡 Why We're Obsessed:** - **Authentic "salaryman" energy** without the flight to Japan - Grandma's **precision knife work** on display - That **miso eggplant** deserves its own fan club #TorontoIzakaya #HiddenGems #JapaneseFood #OssingtonEats #DateNightTO
