Discovering Toronto's Hidden Gem: A Taste of Showa-Era Japan 🇨🇦🇯🇵

Tucked away in the heart of downtown Toronto, there's a little slice of Japan that feels like stepping back in time to the Showa era. This charming spot, run by a passionate Japanese team, exudes that irresistible retro vibe that makes you feel like you've been transported straight to Tokyo's nostalgic streets! First up on my culinary adventure was the Wagyu Angus Beef Shoyu Ramen. Let me tell you, this bowl was a game-changer! The beef slices were thick, juicy, and oh-so-tender, making every bite a delightful experience. It's a classic soy sauce ramen elevated with the luxurious addition of Wagyu beef—pure satisfaction in a bowl! 🥩 (And yes, it's a limited edition, so grab it while you can!) Next, I switched gears and went for the Asakusa Udon Set. Initially, I had my eyes on the Tempura Donburi, but I decided to mix it up to avoid the heaviness. The udon paired with tempura was a match made in heaven, balancing out the richness of the fried goodies with its delicate flavors. Plus, the presentation was on point! The best part? You get to customize your tempura with your choice of seafood and veggies. My top picks? Definitely the eel and salmon—so tender and full of flavor! The fried scallops were a bit on the ordinary side, but hey, taste is subjective, right? The set also came with two massive fried shrimp, ensuring you leave with a happy belly. And let's not forget the veggie tempura—pumpkin, lotus root, sweet potato—they were all mouthwateringly good! At around $30 per person, this place offers incredible value for money. It's a hidden gem that truly blew me away, and I can't recommend it enough! #Canada #Toronto #TorontoLife #TorontoExploration #TorontoFood #TorontoFun #Ramen #Overseas #GlobalEatingAndDrinkingSquad #FoodSharing
