Suda Izakaya, Jackson Hole

It may seem strange to eat excellent sushi in a ski resort in the middle of the country. Suda Izakaya, on the other hand, debunks the idea that good seafood can only be found near the sea. Suda rarely appears with other frequently recognized gourmet locations on similar "Best Of" lists because of its geographic location. Despite Jackson's relative obscurity (and its distinction as America's highest per-capita income city), this restaurant is both reasonably priced and delicious. As a result, it competes with some of the greatest sushi restaurants in the country.

Suda specializes in serving sake, which is typically the focus of an Izakaya. Chef Dustin Rasnick's 10 years of sushi expertise shows through on the nigiri, sashimi, and different maki menus. Suda's cuisine emphasizes foods selected with care from local or regional farmers. Katsu (breaded, fried dishes), kushiyaki (skewered meats and vegetables), teriyaki, ramen (noodle bowls), and sushi & sashimi are among the highlights (raw fish). Saké and shochu are at the heart of the drink menu, which is filled out with spirits, wines, beers, and Japanese-inspired cocktails.
