Welcome to The 5th Taste, where every bite is a celebration of flavor! Conveniently located at Bathurst and Wilson, our name comes from Umami (うま味)—the 5th taste that enhances the four basic flavors of sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. Umami is what makes food rich, savory, and irresistibly delicious, and it’s the heart of authentic Japanese cuisine.

At The 5th Taste, we bring you the true essence of Japanese flavors, crafted with passion by our expert chefs. With years of experience in sushi-making, they handcraft each dish fresh to order, using only the highest-quality ingredients. Whether you’re a sushi lover or exploring new flavors, our menu offers something for everyone—including brown rice options and delicious vegetarian dishes for a healthier choice.

But great food is just the beginning. We believe in exceptional service that makes every visit memorable. Our warm, friendly team is dedicated to making you feel right at home, turning first-time guests into lifelong friends.

Come discover The 5th Taste experience—where freshness, flavor, and hospitality come together in every bite!
