Back again and better than ever. Back again to this excellent restaurant and it seems to have only gotten better. Service was exquisite with japanese fine dining precision and friendliness. This time around we added a sake pairing which was lovely and generous. We learned that Kei Hashimoto himself selects and brings back the sake from his trips to Japan. Location is beautifully appointed with diners each having their own discrete rooms. You don't even get to see the other diners and the environment feels private. The meal was exceptional. Pictures and menu attached. We liked the wagyu course so much we ordered another full round for each of us! read more

Located at the Canadian Japanese Cultural Centre, Kaiseki Yu-Zen Hashimoto is definitely one of Toronto's greatest hidden gem for authentic Kaiseki, a traditional multi-course Japanese dinner made up of dozens of small dishes with different tastes and textures! I am so blessed to have been to Kaiseki Yu-Zen Hashimoto twice in my lifetime ^^ The first time was about 7-8 years ago, and the most recent visit was the past December 2023 for my company Christimas dinner and birthday celebrations. Both experiences were absolutely memorable, and I highly recommend this for all Japanese cuisine lovers! The presentation for food was amazing; each course was like a piece of artwork ^^ Our servers were friendly, courteous, and very gentle with every course. The differences I noticed back then to now: 7-8 years ago: - Only 3 tables, ~$300+ pp - Sat on the ground, tables are much lower - Traditional way of entering a room with food (lots of bowing and kneeling on the floor) - Matcha tea ceremony at the very end Dec 2023: - More tables/private rooms, also ~$300+ pp - Sat on chairs, tables are more standard height - Servers walked in regularly - No matcha tea ceremony . . .

The eight-course meal ($350 per person) began with an onjyaku-zen (amuse bouche) consisting of three hearty soups designed to warm-up the stomach. Hashimoto's saikyo miso soup wasn't overly salty but rather rich in umami made with white miso, topped with a braised carrot, and a pea-sized amount of mustard to add an expected spice against the broth. Meanwhile, the nutty flavour that burst through the cube of goma (sesame) tofu was incredible, almost bordering bitter if it weren't balanced out by the thick savoury soup. If anything, I could have done without wasabi on the tofu as the sesame taste was already so pungent. Of all three bowls, my favourite was also the simplest and what Hashimoto calls "seasoned rice". It's like a thick congee studded with cubes of sweet soft squash and topped with slivers of salty dried kelp (?). The bowl was lovely and comforting and had us wanting another taste of it to end the meal. Paper thin slices of tennen madai (line caught sea bream) was featured in the sashimi course, so delicate that it's like eating flower petals made of fish. Around the plate were three agar jellies flavoured with ginger, carrot, and seaweed, as well as a washer-sized daikon filled with thinly julienned pickled vegetables. It's a much lighter dish following the onjyaku-zen and really showcases the knife skills of Chef Masaki Hashimoto. Diners are asked to refrain from wearing strong scents to ensure they're able to enjoy the sensory experience of the food. The yuzu aroma that escapes from the owan-mono was so refreshing, although at first whiff, it leaves me wondering if a citrusy soup is something I'd enjoy. Hashimoto didn't disappoint, balancing the yuzu in a savoury consommé and pairing it with a host of rich flavours: a silky chawanmushi (egg custard), a thick chewy rice cake, and a soft braised daikon. The slice of amadai (tile fish) was cooked perfectly and I loved that the fish's scales were deep fried to form a crunchy garnish on top. The yaki-mono (grilled course) featured a host of ingredients that were in-season during the autumn in Japan. Generally, I only have persimmons raw, yet somehow the fruit tastes so good baked, releasing more of its sweet flavours with chewy pieces of mochi included to soak up some of its juices. The fruit was so inventive that the grilled shima-aji (stripe jack) almost seemed secondary; I found the fish a tad overcooked and in need of a stronger glaze to make it stand out. This is a long review, find the rest on Gastroworld. read more

The moment you walk in someone is there to greet you and guide you to your table. The ambiance makes you feel like you're walking into a different world you escape the real world and enter an amazing experience. The service is was on point! The servers answer all your questions and they were both knowledgeable about the whole menu and the same questions and gave great recommendations. We asked about the sake selection and they gave us exact description of each selection they had.The food comes out course by course and they gave an explanation of each dish. They prepare each dish to perfection! They way the plate it was delicately placed! Everything tasted amazing. They use season ingredients for each dish. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Toronto MUST VISIT Michelin starred traditional Kaiseki cuisine spot First and foremost congratulations Kei, Chef Hashimoto and the rest of the Hashimoto family on earning your Michelin star. So well deserved! This is the REAL deal guys- the closest to authentic Kaiseki cuisine you can get in Toronto. We reserved for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Kei and Chef Hashimoto prepared such a sweet card for us and even wrote in traditional brush pen our names and a congratulatory message in Japanese. From the moment we arrived, to the moment we left, everything was flawless. Attention to detail, presentation, hospitality, flavours & quality of each ingredient were best in class. There are also only 3 private tables per night so we were really able to enjoy and take our time. Our dinner lasted about 5 hours for 8 courses! Dinner can last as long or as short as you want but we really savored every moment and every detail Each course was a surprise to us like a "trust the chef" concept. The menu changes seasonally with ingredients sourced during those peak months. We loved Kei's patient and informative description of each course and besides conversing with each other we loved hearing from Kei about his favourites, and experiences. Some notable dishes that I enjoyed the most was of course the JA5 wagyu, hot soba noodles, raw sea bream from Fukuoka and the prized Shizuoka musk melon. A special night like this doesn't come at a small price tag- it most likely will set you back about $1k (including a bottle of sake). But we find ourselves comparing all of our future experiences to Kaiseki Yu-zen Hashimoto...almost like the golden standard. If you're looking for an authentic and culturally immersive dining experience in Toronto, this is it read more

Going to Kaiseki Yu-zen Hashimoto Restaurant is like going back to Japan. You can get the true authentic Kaiseki experience and the interior of the restaurant is impeccable. The experience is artistic, perfected and well serviced. The food was not only delicious, but beautiful as well. They only use the most premium and fresh ingredients for their guests and you can tell through tasting their food. The sequence in which the food was served was well thought out and the pairings of the vegetables with the meats were compatible and enhancing. You can definitely tell how much love and care the chef has placed into the food, presentation and experience. I most definitely agree with their Michelin star and it is 100% worth the price for this unique experience in Toronto. Thank you to the staffs at Kaiseki Yu-zen Hashimoto Restaurant for making my birthday so memorable and magical. read more

TLDR: Pricey but very beautiful experience! Not full 5 star because of ...small portion. I was quite torn between 4 and 5 stars here. The first time I heard of Kaiseki Yu-zen Hashimoto was when I just moved to Toronto 8 years ago. My reaction upon seeing the price was apparently "Nope, I'm not going to eat there. Who's going to pay $300 plus tax and tip for just a Japanese meal? Wouldn't this be enough to have a Michelin 3 star meal in real Tokyo?" The latter half of the statement is probably still true. The price is enough for a top tier dinner but nah, 2021 is not a year for worry-free international travel. So let's give the local Japanese restaurant a try and see if it could make up for a missed travel to Japan. Upon entering I was amazed by the beautiful interior - we were escorted through a narrow, dim corridor with splendid Japanese style decor to finally arrive our own individual room for just me and my husband. The path itself was an experience almost - it's like we were teleported to Japan. The room was very quiet, there was background music playing but volume was very low, somehow we found ourselves conversing in lower voices too, another subtle thing that felt like Japan. Food is no doubt authentic. I wouldn't have been able to tell if I was in Japan or in Toronto from tasting the food alone - the cooking method and presentation were both traditional and beautiful. Flavor wise I personally liked it better than many fusion menus, possibly because I'm from Asia and started eating the more traditional Japanese food to begin with :P There were 8 courses in total but at the end I didn't feel stuffed, not even close. The portion of food was small, which I thought was a nature of Kaiseki dinner. It didn't mean to stuff one's stomach. Its origin was small seasonal food to enjoy before tea ceremony, after all. Speaking of tea ceremony, there was originally a tea ceremony at the end of the meal. But because of the COVID the ceremony was cancelled. That's to say our experience was strictly speaking, incomplete this time. One more thing to note - this restaurant is run by just the Hashimoto family. The chef Hashimoto prepares every single dish presented to us - this is truly impressive. read more

Truly a phenomenal, once-in-a-lifetime experience - soon to turn to once-every-week experience! Serious foodie and photographer here - went to Kaiseki with several people for a special occasion and was blown away on every expectation. The quality of food, mature simplicity - yet wonderful complexity, presentation, attention to detail, private room setting, cleanliness, serene music, and overall experience was second to none. Would come back here in a heartbeat and absolutely recommend to all serious diners for an incredible experience. Thank you, Kei & Masaki Hashimoto and the Hashimoto Team for a beautiful time. Bravo. read more

This was the best Japanese meal I have ever had. It was more of an experience than just a meal. It has been three years since I have been there but I still remember the sweet taste of the canteloupe melon that was served as part of the desert. I have never had such strong but balanced flavours and the experience was spiritual. read more

This is hands down the most authentic and delicious Japanese food I've had outside of Japan. My husband took me here for my birthday and honestly it was one of the best meals I have ever had. Everything felt so special from beginning to end. If you're here you're likely celebrating an occasion and they make the effort to prepare a card with a message handwritten by the chef himself. They have very limited seating (I think max 3 tables) so you get a very large, private space to yourself. I usually prefer more casual, less intimate settings however I found the space very appropriate for multi-course kaiseki dining and it honestly felt like we were transported to Japan. Every element of each course was so intricately created and there was no sacrifice between art and taste. It's really hard to decide which course was my favourite because everything was memorable and worked so well together. I also think it is best not knowing what you are going to eat in advance! Just know that the meal will be well worth it. I'll admit I am biased towards Japanese cuisine but I really feel that the service and food were top notch here. read more

Made a reservation for my bf's birthday celebration and it was our very first time dining at Kaiseki Yu-zen Hashimoto. It is truly an experience that we will never forget! Just taking the first steps into the restaurant brings you to a whole new experience (if you haven't been to Japan like myself!). The atmosphere and decor was absolutely exquisite. From start to finish, we were just absolutely amazed at how the food was prepared and presented to us. Kei was extremely welcoming and we thoroughly loved how he explained everything to us. The food was truly impeccable, each and every savory bite. Everything was just so fresh and hits every single taste buds. I'd definitely recommend if you haven't tried it before. Photos taken by Kei and sent to us after our delicious dinner! read more

Overall, I had a great experience at this establishment. The service was outstanding & you can taste the care that they put into each dish. Definitely a place to take someone to show how much you appreciate & value them. As the restaurant only takes a limited number of guest per night, we had to request a reservation online. Once arriving to the restaurant, we were greeted by the host who brought us to our table in separated rooms. The individual rooms is perfect as it makes the experience more private & intimate. The host was very informative and knowledgeable of their products. Each course was explained in detail, I think, in part, to really let you appreciate their attention to your Kaiseki experience. At the end of the meal, the chef will come & thank you for visiting. I think this really adds to the overall experience, as they really make you feel immersed in the whole culture. They will take a picture of the dinner party & send you pictures of your the meal in a thank you email. In conclusion, very happy with the meal & Kaiseki experience. Not your every day kind of meal at its price point. But a definite winner if you want to celebrate. read more

Having wanting to try this for ages, we decided to bite the bullet and do it as part of my boyfriend's Christmas present. And boy, were we in for an experience. First off, you dined in a pretty private room mainly because they only serve 3 tables a night, staggered. Our service was led by Kei Hashimoto who was courteous, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Every single course was mind blowing and flavours danced in your mouth in every possible way. Kei explained every single course in great detail discussing what exactly the ingredients were and where they were sourced from. A lot of our foods were imported from Japan. Two of my favourite courses were the wagyu course and the dessert, where we got THE melon. At the end of our meal, Kei asked us if we had time to join the tea ceremony. We were led into a separate tea room and given a glimpse of how sacred a tea ceremony could be. It was serene, peaceful, and enlightening. Kaiseki Yu Zen Hashimoto is definitely not an everyday place to go to but if you have that special occasion, it is definitely worth the visit. We will definitely be back because at $800, it was a way better experience than Nobu (see my Nobu HK review). read more

Kaiseki Yu-zen Hashimoto - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I am confident when I say this place is hands down the most authentic Kaiseki cuisine I've ever been to in Toronto (thus far). The experience takes you back to Japan - from the moment you walk in, the intricate decor and personable service, it felt like they were trying to take you through a journey. The assistant Manager, Kei, was a pleasure to talk to. He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about every question we asked him. The entire restaurant only had 3 tables and they keep it that way to ensure you have a proper Kaiseki experience in peace and quiet. It was our 7 year anniversary celebration and the on on the table was a personal note written and stamped by the chef. They really pay attention to details when you make the reservations, which are recommended a week in advance. I won't go into detail about the dishes, but $200 per person for the 6-course lunch was well worth it. The quality of all ingredients are top-notch and the effort spent on each dish can be seen in small details like how they tie bean sprouts into a knot, the exquisite plating. Every course was served like it was a piece of art. The miso soup may be my favorite - it does not sink to the bottom like other places, but instead carries a creamy texture and the dab of mustard went surprisingly well with the soup. We had tea ($6) to go with our meal and you are able to get up to 2 refills. The main course was duck breast porridge w/ poached quail egg. We were offered seconds in case we weren't full before dessert was served. The lunch sessions do not come with the tea ceremony, so if you'll have to come during dinner to see it. On our way out, Kei took photos of us by the front door, which would be emailed to us along with photos of our meal today. Since it was Valentine's Day, we each received a fresh rose! The chef came out to say goodbye, walks us all the way out the door and bowed outside in -20 weather! I wanted to usher them back inside because it was freezing, but the Hashimoto family won't let you leave without making you feel like a true VIP. I will definitely be back! read more

My partner and I visited Kaiseki Yuzen Hashimoto for a wonderful dinner. This is a fine family run establishment, where the Japanese cuisine is very accomplished, and the service is professional yet very warm. As soon as we were seated we were made to feel right at home by the mother and son service team. Also of note, we thoroughly enjoyed a bottle of gorgeous sake from Okunomatsu, simply superb with our meal. All in all, the best kaiseki cuisine I've experienced in Canada. read more

We had their summer menu Kaiseki dinner. It's a hidden gem in the GTA and a must visit for both locals and visitors to Canada. This is a premium world class Kaiseki dinner made possible by a Kaiseki trained Chef and his family who want to share their beautiful culture with us through a symphony of exceptional food and an unparallel dining experience guided by gracious host Mr. Kei. You will not be disappointed as you are transported to dining Kaiseki style in Kyoto by Chef Hashimoto and Mr Kei. Do not let the price scare you because it is worth every penny. Hope you are lucky enough to dine here too while the Chef is still offering his Kaiseki menu. A few more pictures to add to the collection. Everything was delicious and a few favourites include: wagu beef, premium Japanese melon, fresh miso soup, house made tofu, fish 3ways, edible crane sculpture, sake etc. We didn't get to experience the tea ceremony but it really didn't matter because the food and service was out of this world! If Yelp has this option, this is a 10 star restaurant. PS If you have dined at Tojo's in BC, you must dine here too to add to your collection of best Japanese restaurants in North America! read more

While the price may scare even the most well heeled diners, this family run restaurant offers a priceless experience! Culinary master Hashimoto creates works of art that are masterpieces for the senses of taste and sight; while his sons Mark and Kai offer impeccable and friendly service in traditional kimonos. They carefully and lovingly describe every dish their father creates and combined with the food, the decor and dress, you are transported to Japan without boarding an airplane. Highly recommend finishing the evening with the traditional Japanese tea ceremony! A small price to pay for a priceless experience! read more

My date took me here because he wanted to impress me with how much money he has. He said the only people who know of this restaurant are the ones that need to know it. Now I am one of those people and I'll explain why dinner here may not be worth the staggering price. I loved the restaurant's concept. We were seated in an individual room and head server was dressed in a pretty kimono. Ambiance was of traditional Japanese mansion style. The table looked aged with unfinished and plates looked like they belong to museums. $300 9-course meal, which had required 1 week advance reservation, consisted of sushis, soups, cooked fish and many dishes I was not familiar with. They tasted good but for someone like me who doesn't know anything about cooking it seemed like a waste. But exotic ingredients and they way they were combined and cooked were unique. They tasted like nothing I had before. The most memorable thing from the dinner was how those dishes looked. They looked like artworks! Each plate had tiny amount of foods. I know this is normal for tasting menus but the chef's exercise on how little food could be served on each plate was on a different level. Some dishes literally had a couple of bites. What good is good food if I could have only a taste of what it could potentially be in full form? Some dishes felt anticlimactic as I couldn't fully enjoy all the different flavours. But the dishes came out in timely manner. After dinner we opted for tea party on the house in a different room. That was a memorable experience but we had to kneel during the whole time, which hurt my legs. The tea was very bitter. But supposedly it is good for health. After all was said and done dinner came up to more than $1000. With so little food I didn't even feel full. If you're wondering, I kindly refused his offer and paid for my own meal. All in all Kaiseki is a restaurant for those who know their foods and those who can appreciate good foods when they see them. Me dining at this restaurant was like giving an illiterate East of Eden and telling him to read all the pages. If you have too much money and want to feel good about it this restaurant is good for that purpose too. read more

The short version of my review is this: "Hashimoto is hands down my favorite dining experience ever." It's rare to be able to walk away from a restaurant and say that every course was delightful, and good enough to have stood on its own. I thought this was true of every course at Hashimoto. It's also rare to be able to say that every dining experience at a restaurant is as delightful as the other. This is true of the few times I've gone to Hashimoto over the years as well. Service at Hashimoto is exceptional. I always feel very welcomed when I come here. From the moment I'm greeted at the door, throughout service, and all the way through to the end of the meal and as we're driving off. The chef even comes by to talk with us at the end of the meal, sees us to the door, and then bows to wave good bye as the car pulls away. Every course is well introduced, explained down to the detail of not only why certain ingredients are used, but why the plateware is being used. We were happy to let the restaurant pick the sake to pair, and the chef was the one who make the recommendation. And it sung perfectly with the meal. They also don't have a large number of tables as well. I think in total there's only three. And so while we talked with normal voices, it was not loud at all. There was only one other table/room also used last night. The previous time I was here, it was just us. I rather like that about Hashimoto. This is not a sushi restaurant, so please don't leave thinking "I didn't get very much sushi." But if you're interested in a meal where the courses are carefully designed, and they seem very well connected and balanced, then I can't think of a better restaurant to recommend. I don't know how to describe what the meal feels like other than to say that every mouthful brought a smile to my face. The experience is quite different (at least for me) from an "explosion" of flavour...but instead it's a very harmonious experience. I'm not going to describe each dish because the menu changes. The ingredients also are flown in from Japan, so it's dependent on the season. There were some elements that I remembered having from the previous time I was here. But there were certainly new ones as well. But everything is very pretty. There is an optional tea ceremony at the end as well. We skipped it this time, but have done it in the past. It is a very nice experience as well. read more

I ate at the Mississauga location three years ago, before they moved. An extraordinary experience; it's not a meal, it's cultural immersion. I was at a wedding in a cheesy banquet hall in an ugly mall and went out for some air [OK, a ciggie]. Next to an auto detailing shop was a tiny door with a menu posted on it: $225 per person, tasting menu...needless to say I was intrigued. I booked the next day and we ate there two weeks later. Very hard to describe the attention to detail and the quality of the food, but it made Susur's look positively pedestrian. The Wagyu beef literally melted in the mouth and the duck was astonishing. My wife liked the sushi, but I preferred the sashimi. The ingredients are flown in from Japan twice a week. There were two tables and no distractions until a couple of drunk guys walked in and asked for a beer...then they saw the whole set up and just walked away, no doubt thinking "WTF?" If I had the money, I'd eat there once a week. Of course, if I had the money I might not live in Brampton...just sayin... read more

Was there with some clients and a colleague. It is $300 a person and it is an artfully done 9 course experience. Each course however is very tiny and I left wishing there was more of certain dishes. Service was impeccable and we were the only group in the place and had a nice private room. I was afraid going in that I would be expected to kneel for the entire meal but that was not the case. We were offered some special unpasteurized sake at $250 a bottle. The difference was lost on me but I doubt I will be doing this too often. Diner finished with a tea service where I did have to kneel. The entire experience took about 3 hours and we did get a bit of business done! read more

Kaiseki is not about sushi not about sashimi; it is about the beautiful and many years history and stories behind every dish. My fiancé who was my bf at the time took me there for our 2 years anniversary and it was an amazing experience. Every dish and every single piece of ingredients were so delicate and full of heart by the one and only head chef Hashimoto. Even the boxes used had a meaning to it, we got to ask a lot of questions and understand a lot more about the Japanese culture and the true depth meaning of Kaiseki. We made a reservation of course but we were lucky that it was a quiet night therefore we had 1 to 1 service from chef Hashimoto's son. The restaurant atmosphere was very peaceful and had great elements of traditional of Japan. Not to mention, the end of night tea ceremony was also a very nice touch and calming way to end the dinner : ) Thank you for their chef's hand written personal card to us as well us complimentary pictures they looked for us and later on emailed us. Yes it was pricey, our bill for the night was $900, but I must say, it was worth the experience we gained. Thanks to my babe for the great arrangement. read more

I took my wife here for our 20th anniversary, and it was an amazing culinary and artistic experience! Each dish was beautifully laid out and belonged on the front page of a culinary magazine. Our host, Kei, was very attentive and knowledgeable and the one of the best parts was learning about the individual ingredients imported from Japan. The handwritten card written by the chef was a wonderful personal touch as were the photos to commemorate our culinary journey. We strongly recommend doing the tea ceremony as well if you are there for dinner. Would definitely come here again for special occasions. read more
