Best Sushi Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix
"Wine sommelier Mika Otomo and her husband, chef Daisuke Itagaki, took her parent’s comfortable and consistently excellent Japanese restaurant and transformed it into a sophisticated destination offering classic and non-traditional Japanese dishes (think udon carbonara) and premium sushi. Itagaki sources much of the fish from Japan. The sushi menu distinguishes between “American Classic Rolls” and “Japanese Classic Rolls,” the latter containing a few that also qualify as vegan. Shimogamo’s new Gilbert location also features teppanyaki, okonomiyaki, classic rolls, and tiny, taco-shaped hand rolls stuffed with everything from snow crab and octopus to baked scallops and A5 wagyu." - Nikki Buchanan
