"The largest Japanese shopping mall in the GTA has been indulging the appetites of Japanophiles for nearly a quarter century. Its restaurants and stores offer a medley of delights, from Heisei Mart’s bevy of grocery goods and grab-and-go items to food purveyors like Tanuki, a restaurant serving yoshoku-style cuisine (Japanese versions of Western dishes). There’s a butcher, two amazing bakers (Nakamura and Sasaki Fine Pastry), though no candlestick maker, at least not yet. There is a seafood market, however, that carries sushi-grade selections. Other operations on site include Izakaya Ju, ramen restaurant Niwatei & Green Tea Lounge, and Cafe Green Tea. [$ - $$]" - Faiyaz Kara
