One of Toronto's oldest Japanese restaurants, Nami, is closing its doors after 40 years. The restaurant, known for its upscale atmosphere and traditional cuisine, has served a who's who of Hollywood and local celebrities. But it's not just the stars that will miss Nami; the restaurant has also been a beloved landmark for Torontonians and visitors alike. With its unique blend of traditional Japanese cuisine and a touch of Kyoto-inspired decor, Nami has been a staple in the city's food scene. From black cod and wagyu steaks to the famous sushi pizza, it has left an indelible mark on Toronto's culinary landscape. The restaurant's last day will be March 7th, but the owners plan to launch a new merchandise line, including t-shirts, tote bags, and a sushi pizza maker, to keep the Nami spirit alive.
