🍣 Toronto Winterlicious Day 4: Kasa Moto (Yorkville)

Modern Japanese minimalism meets attentive service – but was it worth the hype? ✨ Standout Dishes 1️⃣ Cod (Black Cod) ★★★★★ The showstopper! Perfectly seared with a custard-like interior, paired with: Black garlic (umami bomb) Miso-sake cream sauce (elegant richness) Tobiko (bursts of briny crunch) Kale crisps for texture contrast "Worth visiting just for this dish!" 2️⃣ Beet & Pear Salad ★★★★☆ A sleeper hit: Combines soft pear, crisp golden beets, and oxalis leaves for: Triple textures (creamy → crunchy) Sweetness spectrum (mellow → tangy) Tied together by yuzu ricotta’s citrusy creaminess 3️⃣ Beef Cheek ★★★★☆ Fall-apart tender (48-hour braised?), salty but balanced by sweet potato mash – mix them! 😐 Middle Ground 🐮 Carpaccio: Good spice-kissed beef, but not groundbreaking. 🍣 Sushi: Forgettable – soy sauce lacked depth, fish was just fine. 🚫 Skip These 🍫 Chocolate Stone: Dense, one-note mousse – three of us couldn’t finish it. 🌰 Chestnut Cake: Basic AF. (Melon & Ice Cream was the only decent dessert – refreshing!) 💡 Final Verdict ✅ Must-order: Cod + Beet & Pear ❌ Overpriced for: Sushi/desserts 💰 Winterlicious worth it? Only if you prioritize the cod. #WinterliciousTO #TorontoFoodie #JapaneseCuisine
