About I Love Inari

I Love Inari is a place where people who love inarizushi bring together shop information and notes on what they ate. Small neighborhood shops, a discovery from a trip, a recipe handed down near an Inari shrine. We record the inarizushi each region has cherished, in the words and photos of the people who ate it.

Rice-bale shapes wrapped in sweet tofu pouches, triangular Kansai-style ones, gomoku packed with fillings: the same “oinari-san” differs remarkably from place to place and shop to shop. Discovering those differences is what this site is for.

What we value

• That makers, eaters and the people who share them can all feel at ease here.
• That each shop’s character comes through, more than a ranking does.
• That shops and records last, beyond what’s trending.
