Kintaro Izakaya

Toronto’s most authentic izakaya experiences

Just a hop-skip from Church and Wellesley, Kintaro is the everyman of Toronto’s izakaya scene. No other location in Toronto so captures the everyday experience of living in Japan. Its humble storefront, the bottles of sake and shochu used as décor, and the menu printed in big, black kanji on the walls, Kintaro could be on any street corner in Japan. The menu is much the same, delicious foods cooked without pretense or artifice.
