Hand down the best Japanese restaurant in Cleveland area. I give Shinano a 5 star. We have to go there every other month for my wife to get her fix. We have been going to Shinano more than fifteen years since they are in their old Wilson Mill address. We are a little lost when they are in between move. We are very glad that they finally re-open and find such nice location and a lot closer to our house. Did you know when the Japanese MLB baseball player came in town for Indian games, the Indian bring them to Shinano and there is signed sushi plates display around the paid area.
The restaurant is own and ran by Japanese family. Most the waitress has been worked for them more than ten years. A lot of regular like us follow them from Wilson Mill to Solon. The waitress treated us like family. The atmosphere is very warm and close. There is a large sushi bar area with two to three sushi chefs. Their menu selections are large and complex. They also have a Japanese menu with some special home cook dishes.
Their sushi is always fresh and patty of selections. Please try their Tamogo (egg) and Giant Calm if they have them. Their Japanese salad and Miso soup are excellent. We always order their grill whole squid. I think they are the only place around town serve this item. Their tempura is best around town and their bento box dinner is a good value. They also have the Japanese style Curry dishes (sweeter) and some Japanese grill fish in their Japanese worth a try.
Don't forget their dessert menu, you won't be disappointed
