A Toronto restaurant and cafe that gained a cult following for its unique blends has closed its doors permanently after almost a decade in the neighbourhood.It's been a storied several years for Chef Koki Oguchi, marked by various ventures on the Japanese cuisine scene, including handmade udon spot Bushi Udon Kappo and Danforth's long-shuttered Sakawaya.It was upon returning to Danforth and opening Sakawa Coffee in 2016, though, that he really struck gold.The cafe and Japanese restaurant truly had something for everyone, serving up a quirky combination of coffee and lattes alongside classic Japanese cuisine, from udon and sashimi to katsu and karaage.While the mix was perhaps unlikely, it cemented Sakawa as a neighbourhood staple; the kind of place you could visit at 7 a.m. for your morning cup of joe and return to at 7 p.m. for a casual dinner and drinks — just the type of place that thrives on Danforth.But after nine years, it appears to...
