For a single evening on October 21, ABURI SUSHI at Waterworks Food Hall welcomes Chef Ryotaro Matsuzaki for a nine-course matsutake and wagyu shabu shabu tasting in downtown Toronto, presented as part of the restaurant’s monthly hotpot series that runs once a month on Tuesdays. Seatings are at 6 pm and 8 pm. Tickets are $125 per guest plus tax and gratuity, with an optional A5 Miyazaki wagyu upgrade. Chef Ryotaro will be on site to interact with guests throughout the evening.
