点评:WOW, I was totally blown away!! I have been to a few Michelin starred sushi restaurants in the SF Bay Area (and many dozens of lesser quality sushi restaurants), but Inomata is on a completely different level. Not only is the fish super fresh and melt-in-your mouth, but the flavor is so much better than any sushi t have had previously. Almost every piece of sushi was exceptional, leaving me eagerly anticipating the next one. Each portion includes a very large fish portion (as an example, the shrimp sushi, while small shrimp, included three shrimp!).
Taking pictures is welcomed here, and Inomata's wife fully explained the type of fish, where is was from, and in some cases even the price they paid for it. They are so welcoming and we had such a wonderful time here!
Price wise, at around 42K Yen (just over $300 USD) this is a really good deal for what you are getting here. Note that Inomata is located In a somewhat obscure location in Saitama, although only about a 30 minute train ride from our hotel in Ikebukuro. Ginza sushi restaurants that are even close to this level can cost a few hundred dollars more.
I have been to a handful of restaurants over the last few decades that were truly memorable, and Inomata is one of them (in my opinion it rivals any three star Michelin restaurant in quality). Try a moderately priced Tokyo sushi restaurant (around 10K Yen) first, and then try Inomata (as we did). I can't wait to return.
翻译:哇,我完全被震撼了!!我去过旧金山湾区的几家米其林星级寿司店(以及许多质量较差的寿司店),但 Inomata 的水平完全不同。这条鱼不仅超级新鲜,入口即化,而且味道比以前吃过的任何寿司都要好得多。几乎每一块寿司都很特别,让我热切期待下一块。每个部分都包括一个非常大的鱼部分(例如,虾寿司,而小虾则包括三只虾!)。
这里欢迎拍照,Inomata 的妻子详细解释了鱼的种类、产地,有时甚至还解释了他们购买这条鱼的价格。他们非常热情,我们在这里度过了一段美好的时光!
价格方面,大约 42,000 日元(刚好超过 300 美元),对于您在这里得到的东西来说,这是一笔非常划算的交易。请注意,Inomata 位于埼玉县一个有些不起眼的位置,但距离我们位于池袋的酒店仅约 30 分钟的火车车程。即使是接近这个水平的银座寿司店也要多花几百美元。
在过去的几十年里,我去过几家真正令人难忘的餐厅,Inomata 就是其中之一(在我看来,它的质量可与任何三星级米其林餐厅相媲美)。首先尝试一家价格适中的东京寿司店(约 10K 日元),然后尝试 Inomata(就像我们一样)。我等不及要回来了。
