Sushi rolls for the connoisseur (if there is such a thing). Shimogamo's home in an Asian focused strip mall is a good indication that this place is the real deal. Another indication is the need for a reservation, its a good idea to call ahead. The only thing that did not feel authentic was the service with a smile, the service was impeccable.
The food:
- The pan fried dumplings are obviously made in-house to order. The flour dough wrapping had crispy edges and tasty filling. Yum!
- The Big N' Spicy Roll was delicious and the spiciest roll I have ever had. I am pretty hardcore when it comes to heat and I would call this medium.
- The Salmon Skin Roll is a little off the beaten path, again these were the best I have had anywhere bar none (e.i. Japan/Hawaii/CA/FL...). I don't know if they shaved the skin, but it was crispy and oily (omega-3) almost like bacon (not-omega-3).
The table also shared a Roasted Roll, California Roll and a Futomaki Roll. All of which were well made with fresh ingredients. If you are going to try sushi once, try it here. Just call ahead!
