IZUMI Brewery (Ontario Spring Water Sake Company)

I was gifted a sake tasting tour for my birthday. We arrived a little early so decided to indulge in a sake flight before the tour began. Enjoyed the patio outside and the server was very friendly. The tour was very informative for anyone who is interested in how sake is made. We tried 4 sakes during the tour. Tour guide knew his stuff and it's great location to go somewhere else afterwards.

Izumi is a great place for those who are willing to enjoy a minimalist environment and want to try different styles of sake. The place is very pleasant, very organized, with well-displayed refrigerators and excellent service. In addition to the indoor space, the outdoor area has a counter for some snacks, and in the summer there is an outdoor area to enjoy with family, friends and companions. The place does not have an entrance suitable for wheelchair users or people with reduced mobility, so it is necessary to be careful when visiting.

Izumi Sake is an absolute gem! Without a doubt, it's home to the sweetest, most delightful sake I’ve ever tasted. The place itself has a unique charm, making it a must-visit for any sake enthusiast. We were served by a kind and knowledgeable staff member who took the time to walk us through the intricate process of sake brewing. His expertise enhanced our tasting experience as he carefully guided us through the various selections. It was an incredible visit, we ended up purchasing several bottles and will definitely return on our next trip to Toronto. Highly recommended!

I love yuzu and lime sake. It's not a strong sake because of the citrus flavor. If you are looking for some light flavors or just the first time try sake I am recommending this one. And if you are lucky sometimes you can get it LCBO too.

They sell Sake but mostly to go. The product is good. They make their own Sake and have lots of options and cocktails and they are really good.

A rare treat in North America, a craft sake distillery that makes a beautifully tasting product.

I had such a wonderful sake experience at Izumi Brewery which brought back memories of my last trip to Japan.

First heard about Izumi through my workplace and colleagues who introduced me to their flavoured sake, but I never made an visit until last week, Tuesday, around 2pm. I got lost trying to find it, as it's sort of hidden as you make your way through the Christmas Market at Distillery. When I visited, they had an outside booth selling hot food – i believe it was shared with another local vendor, Nakamori, because they sold jerk chicken karaage with mango Aioli and I don't know any other spot in the city that makes it. I ordered 2 onigiri: spicy miso and mayo chicken. Unfortunately the chicken had very little filling. It was basically rice. Also ordered the jerk chicken karaage, it was really great and served skewer style. It turned into a bit of a mess by the end, but it was worth it. Inside, you can see the brewery to the left, a small pantry grocery section in front of you, and a small bar to the right. Didn't look like there's a washroom onsite. The brewery on the left has some signage with a self-guided tour so you can educate yourself. The pantry section consists of their sake, along with sake kasu which are the leftover parts of the sake that is brewed. They have other pantry items as well and I believe gift sets. I ordered the sake kasu because it's a versatile ingredient for pickling, enhancing flavours for other dishes, and for making some amazake. The bar to the right has high seating, ~5-6 seats. You can order one of their drinks or try a tasting flight. I ordered the hot apple cider, which was not too sweet, which is what I needed with the chilly winter weather. All the seats were taken and it's sort of a cramped space so I enjoyed my drink directly behind the people seated. Overall, I liked it here. I will definitely be back!
