The GOODS from Gyoza Bar, Miku and Minami

“These are certainly unchartered and quite tenuous times for us all in the hospitality industry,” says Seigo Nakamura, founder and CEO of Aburi Restaurants. “I also know how resilient we all are, and truly believe we will get through this. We wanted to give our employees an opportunity to stay on if they wanted. We also wanted to give Vancouverites the ability to continue enjoying our offerings at home. That’s how Aburi To-Go and Gyoza Bar with some exciting new menu additions was born.”

Seigo Nakamura, owner of the Tora Corporation in Japan, is the visionary behind Aburi Restaurants’ Miku, Miku Toronto, Minami, Gyoza Bar, and the new TORA in Toronto. His unique concepts and business strategies have led to the creation and spread of Aburi style cuisine across Canada. A trendsetter in all aspects, Seigo is never happy with settling for the norm. His unique twist on Aburi cuisine was created over a decade ago, by innovating the idea of traditional Japanese flame-searing with the decadent and creamy sauces of French cuisine.

Literally translated as ‘the human flavour’, Ningenmi is a Japanese term used to refer a person with outstanding humanly qualities: sincerity, thoughtfulness, and passion. Seigo is a strong advocate of spreading ningenmi to his team, promoting a positive team dynamic within his restaurants.
