Syogun Sushi Bar located at 8261 Woodbine Avenue in Markham
It’s funny because I believe this Japanese restaurant used to be called “Syogun Japanese Cuisine” but it is currently renamed as “Syogun Sushi Bar“. Their website says this new name too. However, on their website, they only advertise that they do “pick up orders only” for sushi. You can call them to order from their menu but the food is only for pick-up. Continue reading

Kinton Ramen 5 located at 396 Church Street in Toronto
What a pleasure and privilege it was to attend another blogger event hosted by Stella and Kinka Family and dine at Kinton Ramen 5! Kinton Ramen was the very first Japanese ramen house to set foot in Toronto back in 2013.
