Hi everyone! We hope that you're all doing well and staying healthy. As most of you probably know and have experienced, the food and beverage industry in Toronto and across the world have been negatively impacted by COVID-19. Physical distancing means that we can't enjoy the restaurants and bars that we love to support. And because of that, many of our friends and patrons have had their hours cut or have even lost their jobs. It hurts us to see the people who support us have to go through these trying times.

Promotion:

We've decided to create a promotion in an effort to encourage you to support your local F&B industry. Here's how it works: every time you get takeout/delivery/gift certificate from your local F&B business (restaurant, brewery, winery, etc.), take a picture of what you purchased and post it to your Instagram feed. Don't forget to tag the business and us in the post, and make sure your profile is public, or else we can't see it and it won't count! 

For every purchase, you will receive a $5 Tosho Knife Arts gift card. On the 15th purchase, you will receive a free sharpening class. This promotion is not limited to the Greater Toronto Area, we will honour any tag as long as it follows the instructions above! Currently, there is no deadline for this promotion, though this is subject to change at any time.  

To get you started, here are some of the restaurants and beverages that we like to enjoy:

• Aloette (Ritual.co, DoorDash, and UberEats)
• Ascari King Street (Delivery and takeout, 50% of gift certificate purchases goes directly to their staff)
• Avling Kitchen & Brewery (Beer retail, delivery coming soon!)
