| Japanese comfort food |
This modest and
unassuming Japanese restaurant is in the basement of the Ontario College of Art
and Design where it serves a primarily student population who enjoy its
low cost and fast service between lectures.
This post is a compilation of three visits because the
portions are very large and I had to make more than one trip to get a
reasonable impression of the restaurant.
 |
| Takoyagi |
Takoyaki is flour with octopus in the center which is
grilled on a special hot plate. The dish is then topped with takoyaki sauce, katsuo
and
anonori.
Katsuo is skipjack tuna and anonori is green seaweed. katsuobushi are the dancing fish flakes of katsuo and they appear to move in the air. This is the best dish
that I tasted at the restaurant and only costs $3 although it takes 15 minutes
to prepare. Highly recommended.

| Ochazuke |
Ochazuke is a warm bowl of rice in a tea broth topped with
nori seaweed and Japanese okaki cracker and costs $4
 |
| Negitama gyudon |
The Negitama gyudon is a large bowl of rice topped with
sliced beef, green onion and an egg. Lots for $9 and well prepared.
Recommended.
 |
| Ohitashi |
The Ohitashi is a bowl of cold vegetables in a light
dressing. Also recommended and cheap for Japanese food at $3.
 |
| Hotate Rice bowl |
The rice bowl
with scallops, fried egg and onions cost $9. It was a large portion and well
prepared.
 |
| Corn soup |
The corn soup had
a good portion size and cost $3. If you like modern fast Japanese food at a
moderate price, then this restaurant is a good choice. Not your usual sushi and
tempera but the cost is much lower. The service is fast and friendly.
