Azabu 10

Azabu 10 Zushi & Thingz brings a sophisticated edge to Toronto’s multicultural landscape through its meticulous focus on Edomae-style sushi and modern Japanese fusion. The signature omakase journey begins with delicate hamachi tartare, where the buttery yellowtail is elevated by a sharp wasabi kick and the mineral depth of a dashi-infused broth. Technique is paramount in the nigiri service, where seasoned rice is pressed to a precise temperature to complement the silkiness of aged bluefin tuna. The kitchen further explores texture through its tempura offerings, achieving a lacy, ethereal crunch that shatters upon impact. Aromas of toasted nori and freshly grated yuzu zest permeate the space, signaling a commitment to ingredient purity. Each plate is a study in balance, pairing the salinity of the sea with the subtle sweetness of pickled ginger, resulting in a refined tasting progression that honors traditional craftsmanship.
