Aburi Hana is a Japanese restaurant in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1] The restaurant has received a Michelin star.[2][3]
History
The restaurant was opened by the Aburi Restaurant Group in January 2020.[4]
At its opening, the restaurant's kitchen was led by chef Ryusuke Nakagawa, who was recruited from Japan by the restaurant group to serve as Aburi Hana's head chef.[5]
The restaurant has been temporarily closed since September 2025 following Nakagawa's departure back to Japan, during which it is undergoing renovations and renewal of concept. As of February 2026, a re-opening date has not been announced.[6]
Recognition
Aburi Hana was awarded a Michelin star in Toronto's inaugural Michelin Guide that was revealed in 2022, and has retained its star in every year since. Michelin praised chef Nakagawa's "modern take on [a] history-steeped Kyō-Kaiseki menu".[7]
