Irashai mase! Always something new at inaba.... ... Photo is our dinner special for today! Today we would like to explain about a preperation method KOBUJIME (HISTORY) KOBUJIME originated in Toyama (Kyodo style cooking). Back in Edo period Kitamaebune would buy product from one area of Japan and sell to another. Konbu (Kelp) would be received from Hokkaido and fresh Sashimi would get sandwiched. Doing this transfers the natural Glutamic acid (Umami) to the fish changing the flavor of the sashimi. Our chefs at inaba has prepared Hirame (Halibut) in this cooking style Kobujime@ $15 You will taste the Umami in the Halibut. Please try with less soy than regular Sashimi to be able to hint in the beginning the subtle burst of Umami (pairs well with dry sake to cut the lingering Umami). Please call for reservations.....we hope to serve you soon....

Irashai mase! Always something new at inaba.... ... Today our chef has a new rice dish you can get with our Plate Lunch menu.

Our special dinner menu for today! It is so hot in SoCal already 93F!!, lost your appetite yet? In Japan it is typical to Unagi Box (@$50) when it's hot out. It might seem pricey, but unless you've tried Japanese Unagi, you have yet to know real Unagi (Japanese eel / Anguilla Japonica).... Other delicacy would be the "taste of fall" the Matsutake mushroom. Enjoy our umami filled Dobin Mushi (@$12) Our Itamae (chefs) take pride in introducing seasons in our dishes. Irashai mase! Always something new at inaba....
