it’s having a moment because it’s extremely expensive and a big way to show off you have money. esp since tasting counter closed.
TC closed? I went last year. Food was certainly good, but, I was very disappointed in the beer tasting. It should’ve been high quality, complex beers from Germany, Belgium, etc.
Nope. They had 2 from Nightshift… yuck!
My love of sushi and Omakase makes it hard for me to wholeheartedly agree with you, but I agree it is overpriced.
Omakase is paying for the presentation, not the food.
plenty of excellent cheap sushi places around.
I agree that there are good and relatively cheap sushi places available. I may just be a snobby snoot but I think a good omakase is much more than fancy presentation. The ones that I have enjoyed had excellent quality fish paired with nuanced accompaniments like herb oils, fried onions, pickled vegetables, etc. Now these are not very expensive ingredients and they are used in extremely small portions, so there is still something to be said for it being a luxury markup. My gateway drug was Cafe Sushi in harvard square but they have unfortunately gone take-out only and it is not the same. Ironically they got rid of the fancy nature and I stopped going. I might just be a snooty snob.
it’s ok. you’re in the majority of people in boston. non snooty snobs are a minority.
The “Omakase” in Cambridge on Mass. Ave was really good.
I highly recommend a place in Watertown: Super Fusion II. Really great fish and the people are super nice.
