Toronto's Hottest Japanese Hideaway - Mhel's Legendary Pudding 🍮🔥
This rotating-menu sake bar hides in an unassuming corner but packs a crowd nightly. Intimate yet lively—no shouting matches here! Came for the pudding (viral on Red), stayed for everything else. Only 2 items matched the hype: Wagyu Striploin & THE pudding—so we got both. 🍣 Shiromi Mori ($48) Daily sashimi platter. Kombu-cured for extra bounce—obsessed. 🌿 Nanohana ($14) Nut paste + grilled tofu. Sounds heavy? Surprisingly light & elegant. 🐟 Maguro ($36) Bluefin tuna + pickled flower sauce (didn’t catch the name). Sweet-tart perfection. 🥩 Sogogi ($59) Charcoal Aussie Wagyu. Rich but... where’s the sauce? Salt/wasabi alone didn’t cut it. 🍄 Dak Gu-yi ($34) Grilled chicken & porcini. Mushrooms stole the show—earthy umami bomb! 🍮 Dessert ($10) THE star. Best pudding in TO—no eggy weirdness. Almost smuggled an extra home! Go easy on the molasses—it’s sweet enough. 🍶 Kozaemon Sakura ($16) Seasonal spring sake—floral & fleeting. 💸 Pricey? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. 🏠 Mhel 📍 276 Havelock St, Toronto #TorontoEats #HiddenGem #JapaneseFood #SakeBar #FoodieFind #DessertHeaven
