Goro + Gun lives up to its namesake, transforming a traditional Japanese staple into a modern classic that will satisfy even the most picky of patrons. Executive chef Tomo Mitsuno is a master of Japanese fare, creating intricate dishes that will excite your palette and intrigue your senses. His expertise is evident and includes the elite culinary certification in the safe preparation of deadly blowfish (fugu). Also unique to this restaurant, Goro + Gun’s employs a resident sake sommelier whose expertise is unmatched. She will perfectly pair one of thirteen curated sakes with each dish and take you on a journey of the rich history of each sake along the way.
In the interest of full disclosure, I am not typically a fan of sashimi. In fact, I am often the one ordering the cooked sushi rolls because I can’t stomach the idea of raw fish. The few times I have tried it, it has been rubbery, bland, and frankly unappealing. Chef Tomo has made me a convert. I could eat his sashimi every single day for the rest of my natural life and never grow tired of it. Each piece was perfectly executed with a balance of flavours that made me dissolve into a pool of pure joy. The finishing touches on top, from a beautifully roasted tomato to a delicate quail egg enhanced each bite perfectly. I’ve been planning my next girl’s night out here ever since.
The reviews online rave about each.

Yum! This looks delicious, I'm with you in that most of the sashimi I've tried has not made me want more but this sounds like it could totally convert me.
Sounds very interesting. I've not had much Japanese food, I need to try more.
I love Ramen! This place looks so yummy!
I would love to visit Calgary. One of my friends live there. I'll have to tell her about this place. That soup looks amazing.
Yum. The food looks great, and it sounds like you had a really fabulous experience…which often times is just as important. I really want one of those Ramen bowls right now!

I LOVE SUSHI. I used to live in south Florida and ate it a lot… Now I am totally craving it!!!!
It all looks so tasty! Love sushi, it's great for date night.
I've never read a good review that has made me feel as if I was actually there. I'm not a sashimi person (my husband is big time) but I wish I could try the one prepared for you. I love ramen. And as I love told you, I love Calgary too. If only it were just across the Rockies and not across the country as it is now…. What a beautifully written recount of your evening ❤️
That dessert and the spun sugar looks amazing! I like good sushi, but it can be tricky to find!
