Ontario Spring Water Sake Company

is located in the Distillery District, they have a wbesite. We went one afternoon last week to sample it's products... we had quite a few samples... some were delicious... some not so much... I find I prefer a dry, clean, crisp sake... I also don't mind something sweet, and warm... but I don't like anything that has a strong fermented flavor... and there were a couple...

Sake is not only available for tasting but also for purchase, along with bottles and cups to serve it in, as well as miso soup bases and sake-kasu (lees of sake making process, which can be used in cooking but also skin care).

Overall, delicious... looking forward to our next visit. Sake is my favorite alcoholic libation :)

Fresh Restaurant

is one of our all time fave places to eat. This restaurant is vegetarian/vegan (you  may add cheese to your dishes).... on one of our visits we enjoyed
a bowl of Caribbean Coconut and Tomato with Hot Chilies & Green Cabbage (well I enjoyed it, it had spice to it, but wasn't too spicy... I enjoyed it very much)
 Jay enjoyed a bowl of Cuban Chick Pea and Potato with Fennel, Lemon & Thyme
 then we shared Indian Dosas - spiced pancakes filled with curried chick peas & vegetables... this was very yummy worth having again
 and Soho Falafel - herb falafel balls, quinoa & adzuki bean tabouleh, flax hummus & toasted pita... mmm it wasn't our favorite.. the first sauce was too sweet, middle too hot, and last too bitter...
