In the distinction between Japanese restaurants and pseudo-Japanase restaurants Shinano falls down in the first category. As main disadvantage, it really is in the middle of nowhere, no one can argue about that, but you won't regret the trip over there cause this place has value written all over it. Typical delicious Japanese food, wonderful service, heaven-tasting sashimi, one of the best green teas I had in the Cleveland area, it's an absolute must! (and the price is really really cheap when compared with some of the high-end disappointing places I've been to for Japanese food in Cleveland)
