One of my classmates from the Calgary Japanese Language School once told me that there are over 300 Japanese Restaurants in Calgary, Alberta. It would take years to try them all. Out of that list, there are a handful that my friends and I like to eat at. This is a list of my top 10 Calgary Japanese Restaurants in alphabetical order:
