Inakaya is somewhere between a Disney-fied take on a dream Fellini
once had about a Japanese frat initiation and an excessive bull-market
Japanese mega-restaurant of 2005 (En, Megu, Matsuri, etc.), populated
by lunatics in toe-socks, manning those paddles, minding the robata
grills. And it's not bad.
The overly broad menu seems an anachronism, culled from a much larger restaurant, but an exquisite meal can be had, for a price, and delicacies we don't often see on these shores can be enjoyed. Jeff Harris
