History

The restaurant was opened by the Aburi Restaurant Group in January 2020. [4]

At its opening, the restaurant's kitchen was led by chef Ryusuke Nakagawa, who was recruited from Japan by the restaurant group to serve as Aburi Hana's head chef. [5]

The restaurant has been temporarily closed since September 2025 following Nakagawa's departure back to Japan, during which it is undergoing renovations and renewal of concept. As of November 2025, a re-opening date has not been announced. [6]

Recognition

Aburi Hana was awarded a Michelin star in Toronto's inaugural Michelin Guide that was revealed in 2022, and has retained its star in every year since. Michelin praised chef Nakagawa's "modern take on [a] history-steeped Kyō-Kaiseki menu". [7]
