Inatei

Inatei 稻亭日本料理, one of a few upscale Japanese restaurants in Richmond Hill. Address: Unit #7-8, 9021 Leslie St, Richmond Hill, ON L4B 0B2. Great work as usual. In constructive criticism point of view, the Chirashi set for ~$13 looks gorgeous, but the rice bed was lack of Japanese rice vinegar and LP figured that the sashimi was odds and ends pieces.

• Rosy shrimp handroll. The nori was ultra crispy. The shrimp was huge, fresh and bouncy.
• Bento. Whenever we go to a new Japanese restaurant, we always order the bento box, just for sampling. Excellent!
• Salmon sashimi. The salmon was of top sashimi grade with a deep orange color and a complex fat pattern.
• Milk tea pudding. The milk tea pudding served with black sugar was surprisingly good, strong bitterly tea contrasted with the sweet black sugar. It's ultra small that it serves in a shooter glass though.

• 6 pcs sushi + 5 pcs sashimi + 4 pcs Dynamite maki, $16.
• California & mango roll, $10. The mango in the California roll was interesting, although we liked the Dynmite maki better.
• Green tea, $3.0. The tea was brewed under correct temperature. It has a little hint of bitterness that works best with sashimi. It's just a bit pricey.
