"Near the corners of Toronto's College Street and Dovercourt Road, there is an unassuming, graffiti-filled alley that's home to a to-go sushi spot that in-the-know Torontonians turn to for some of the city's best sushi. Dry aging is not just for steaks. Allowing fish to dry age in a controlled environment changes the fat-to-water ratio in the fish, resulting in a firmer texture, and deeper, more umami-filled flavor. Grab one of the 11-piece omakase boxes to go, and enjoy. There isn't any seating here, but there is a bench outside where you're welcome to revel in your sushi-filled glory. Must try's include engawa (when available), as well as luscious otoro. There's usually a small selection of hand rolls on offer, too. If you're looking for a sushi experience that feels authentic and quintessentially Toronto, this is perfect." - Todd Plummer
