OISHII SUSHI BAR
612 Hammond St. Chestnut Hill, MA 02467
(617) 277-7888

All your sushi dreams can come true at cozy Oishii Sushi. You’ll say “oishii” (delicious) at this friendly and clean mall stop, located off busy Route 9. Oisshii is known for it’s exotic combinations, such as oyster sushi wrapped in seaweed or shiitake mushroom tempura roll. This is a clam lover’s paradise, with buttery baby Hamachi, red chewy Hokigai and cherry-stone like Mirugai. Oishi is also one of the few sushi bars that torches sushi to add a different texture and flavor. Our favorite part of the menu is “Customer’s Creations:” If you tell ‘em Barry sent you, you’ll end up with Barry’s Passion Shooter, a combo of sea urchin, quail egg, Tabasco and light soy sauce. Even the appetizers are innovative—where else can you try Oishii Tuna Chip, homemade potato chip with seasoned minced tuna, pickled radish?

Ginza is known for arranging food on a plate in a painstaking fashion that makes it too pretty to eat. But after the first bite, you can’t help but unwrapping this sweet gift of sushi. Ginza offers a sushi bar, with its legendary “spider,” which is soft-shell crab, cucumber, avocado, flying fish roe and spicy mayo. It also boasts a saki bar serving 22 varieties of hot and cold saki. The sushi and sashimi have been called some of the best in the Boston area. It should be with three sushi chefs simultaneously preparing these exquisite dishes. The Hudson Street restaurant is the flagship location. It was the first Japanese restaurant in the Chinatown section of the city. It’s open daily til 4 am and it’s always busy and the sushi is fresh and tasty. You’ll also be served by a Japanese waitress dressed in a kimono with Japanese music playing in the background. You’ll think you have been transported right over to Japan. Other good choices are salmon tataki and the amaebi (sweet shrimp sushi).

BLUE FIN
1815 Massachusetts Ave.
Cambridge, MA 02140

Any self-respecting sushi lover knows about the Exchange Building in Porter Square, a little bit of Japan hidden in a Cambridge mall. This collection of Japanese supermarkets, gift shops and restaurants includes Blue Fin, known for its giant sushi set. If you’re into economy sushi eating by the bulk, it’s less than $1 per piece of nigri here—you can get 18 pieces of sea urchin sushi for $16. In a rush? Try the lunchtime “speed menu” of combo platters, leaving you plenty of time afterwards to get your Japanese groceries from Kotobukya, and pick up a Hello Kitty item from Tokai.
