A few months ago we had the pleasure of experiencing a unique sake tasting at Toronto's Ki courtesy of sake sommelier Michael Tremblay – one of only five in Canada. One thing we've always wanted to know, though: what makes someone an expert on sake? We caught up with Michael following his recent three-week trip to Japan, where he had the rare opportunity t...
A few weeks ago we learned the allure of using large, spherical ice balls in our summer cocktails, both for practical reasons and their aesthetic appeal. We had a world-class bartender craft one for us from scratch, which likely won't be a regular occurrence. Luckily, there's this...

It was to our greatest surprise when we stumbled upon Zenya Restaurant, not only because of how delicio...
This sushi adventure has been more than we had bargained for when it comes to 'tasty sushi we have never tried before.' Our hunt this week brought us to Jun I (pronounced simply “juniâ€). Yet again, we were not disappointed...
Montreal sometimes comes across as a city lacking in notable sushi spots. Aside from the usual hot spots, there sometimes appears to be few other options where you can find fresh sushi in a cool and hip atmosphere. Thus, we're bringing you some alternative options, starting today with Tokyo Sushi Bar...
You're busy, we get it. You can't always scour the net for the info you're looking for, but luckily, we can. If you have a question – about an event, a product, a person, whatever – and you're looking for a quick answer, send it over.
