Toronto Food Events rounds up the most delicious events, festivals, pop-ups, winemaker dinners, supper clubs and other food related happenings in Toronto this week and next. You can find us here every Friday morning.

Space is still available for the one-night-only dinner from Brooklyn Mile End Deli co-founder Noah Bernamoff.

UPCOMING

• The 10th annual Washoku Matsuri: Japanese Food Festival organized by Japanese Restaurant Association of Canada (JRAC) will take place on Monday, April 20, starting with a demonstration and appetizers at 5:30pm, followed by a dinner at 7pm held at Kobayashi Hall at the Japanese Canadian Culture Centre (6 Garamond Ct.). Limited tickets are available for $180, and while some might still have a bad taste in their mouth from the recent Sushi Fest fiasco, this event boasts a drool worthy line-up featuring Toronto's most reputable Japanese restaurants, including Cafe Michi, Hiro Sushi and Sushi Kaji (to name just a few).
• Book your seats now for The Second Seder at Caplansky's (356 College St.) on Saturday, April 4. The seven-course Jewish Passover feast is priced at $55 for adults (or $25 for children) and promises to be "Matzoh fun".
