Sushi Ino @ Matsuyama (Okaido)This was my first visit to this popular restaurant in Matsuyama, which I reserved in advance. The counter was bustling with customers, including many from outside the prefecture.Sushi Ino is a renowned establishment representing Matsuyama and has even been selected by Michelin. The restaurant's name comes from the owner, Chef Ino. After training at "Edomae Ichiro" in Matsuyama, he opened his own place.Additionally, one of his former apprentices has opened a popular restaurant in Matsuyama, greatly influencing the local sushi scene.The ingredients primarily come from Ehime. The seafood, including that from the famous fisherman Junichi Fujimoto, boasts exceptional freshness. The dishes and sushi offer flavors that can only be experienced here.The rice is prepared using both red and white varieties, served at their best.A wide selection of Japanese sake is available, and I enjoyed pairing it with local brews, making for a blissful experience.【Course】Edamame (Matsumae Town, Ehime)Octopus (Ainan Town, Ehime)Giant Sea Bass (Ainan Town, Ehime)Corn (Kumakogen Town) with a smooth chawanmushiSea Snail Liver SauceGrilled Sweetfish (Menokawa River, Ehime)Grilled MehikaruShirasu (Imabari, Ehime)Spring Sea Bream Salt-cured Sandfish (Off Matsuyama) Swordtip Squid (Yahatahama, Ehime) White Sweetfish (Yahatahama, Ehime) Marinated Red Fish (Sakaiminato, Tottori) Medium Fatty Tuna Young Horse Mackerel (Amakusa, Kumamoto) Tuna Mayo Clam Horse Mackerel (Sanbe Town, Ehime) Sweet Shrimp Matsuyama Fried Tofu 【Japanese Sake】Ishizuchi Ai Mu Daiginjo Ishizuchi Natsu Junmai Gagiya Ittoryodan Junmai Daiginjo
