| - Found myself really wanting some Inari sushi while I was out in Goodyear. Did not know any sushi places so I asked my Nav system to find one for me....and it did find Akai Hana Sushi & Grill. Inari is a very simple sushi, it is a fried tofu pocket, or could be a cone, filled with rice and topped with sesame seeds, soy sauce and a bit of wasabi. Simple but good and I have had them all over the world. Usually they come in a small tray, what has 5 or 4 if they are big inari, some pickled vegetables, a dollop of wasabi and cost between $4-5 bucks. Just pour on some soy, brush some wasabi, put some pickled stuff on top and chomp away...delicious. While the inari at Akai Hana were fine, it was the price for what I got that was a bit out of line. I got 4 regular size inari, in a large take out box and it was almost $6.....or about $1.50 each, whereas in most every other place they are just shy of $1 each. Maybe I am just cheap, but as well as taste, atmosphere and personal, I judge the "away from home" eating experience with an equal emphasis on cost. If I get another hankering for inari, which I am sure will arise, I will seek out a place where the inari is good and the price is right.
