Excellent news for those who think Montreal needs more izakayas. Hot on the heels of Ichi Go Ichi E and Kinka — and others — Kabocha opens today at 3627 Saint-Laurent. Management describes the restaurant as "une izakaya nouveau genre pour les amateurs de cuisine et boissons du Japon." On the menu: sashimi, teppanyaki, ramen, beers and sakes. The business is registered to Toronto resident Takeshi Sugawara.
