VERDICT:
PROS:
There are a few reasons why Inomata is becoming famous:
1) His sushi is delicious - he sources some of the best hon-maguro available
2) He is becoming a master of jukusei - aging neta to draw out the best possible flavors.
CONS:
The shop is really, really far from central Tokyo. It
took me a bit more than one hour each way from
my hotel in Roppongi.
