This 2015 addition to Montreal’s Plateau, founded by Kevin Fung, embodies “Ichigo Ichie”—a Japanese phrase meaning “this time only,” urging diners to cherish each moment. The menu reflects this sentiment, offering a blend of Japanese dishes with a local twist, from sashimi with Quebec influences to classic yakitori and crispy tempura, all made without MSG and using organic ingredients.

The thoughtfully designed space by Michel Prete mixes traditional elements like wood and stone with modern, vibrant touches. Diners can explore the varied menu, featuring cold starters like daikon salad and yuzu tuna tataki, hot plates such as pork shoulder with apple miso butter, and the ever-popular takoyaki. Complementing the food is an impressive list of cocktails and sakes, including a refreshing Japanese sangria and inventive G&Ts.
