So after a couple tiring days of work in Vancouver, we finished our trip with a sushi dinner at Tojo's. I learned of Tojo's from Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" show a few weeks ago. Bourdain and Tojo are friends, so I figured that was good enough to prompt me to try the place out. Before embarking, several people commented on how this was the best place in Vancouver, a city which apparently boasts some of the best sushi on the west coast. One person even attributed the creation of the California Roll to Tojo. I have no idea if that's accurate, but this was the best Sushi I've ever had. Everything was artistically beautiful and exceptionally good eats, especially the fresh grated wasabi, something I've heard about but never come across to this point. It was really sweet and fruity, much less bitter and spicy than the wasabi I'm accustomed to (i.e. the powdered variety). At the end of the meal, Tojo was gracious enough to pose with us for a picture. After two fantastic meals, I can't wait to get back to Vancouver and explore this city to see what else it has to offer a foodie.
