photos 20240228. I ate here once, at the north east corner of Bathurst and King. It was some sort of Japanese fusion place with flavoured saki. Kinda fancy with a pleasant interior. High end date level perhaps. maybe 25 years ago. I lived kitty corner across from this place in the condos. Floor to ceiling windows from where I could watch people walking into Studio 69 – an old alternative music haunt on yet another corner at that intersection.I have a memory that fails me so I hope this corner remains the landmark that it was.
