Boston Globe reviews sushi and sake
Two articles from the Boston Globe (www.boston.com) that were
brought to my attention a bit late: Boston Globe, The (MA), April 28, 2004 SAKE SAMPLE, ALISON ARNETT Sake's popularity is soaring, and sushi master Toru Oga is showcasing fine sakes and his newest spring dishes Monday at Oga's in Natick. Some of the dishes planned include lobster salad with yuzu vinaigrette and lobster tempura, alternative sushi of toro tartare and whitefish, and crisp red snapper with delicately vinegared vegetables. The sakes, which will be explained by Hiromi Iuchi of the Sake Service Institute in New York, include Setsugetsu Bijin Junmai Ginjyo, Kijoshu Seiryo aged sake, and Kissui Miyanoyuki Junmai. Cost is $85, including sake. Call 508-653-4338. The next one is long (>1200 words), so here are parts: Boston Globe, The (MA) May 13, 2004 SHE SAYS SUSHI, ALISON ARNETT TOURS HER FAVORITE SUSHI RESTAURANTS. JUST DON'T OFFER HER SAKE., Alison Arnett, Globe Staff Sushi Nation - that's what we've become. From Back Bay to the Fenway, from Kenmore Square to Brookline. Even in the 'burbs, sometimes especially in the 'burbs. ... On a weeknight in Brookline, three of us survey the packed dining room of Ginza. ... On this stretch of Beacon Street, it should be possible. Just past Ginza is Sushi Express, a tiny place filled with customers. A little farther into Brookline, there's Fugakyu, packed late into the evening, and across the street is Jae's, with its artful brand of sushi. Farther on, Coolidge Corner sports several more sushi joints. In fact, only the pizza restaurant near Sushi Express is empty this evening. So does that make sushi restaurants the new pizza parlors, the places that catch the young crowd and then cross over to pull in all generations? The date destinations, the meet-after-work standbys, the late-night hangouts? ... dining at Osushi (in a corridor between the Westin Hotel and the Mall at Copley Place), sampling the precious delicacies at Uni (the sushi bar at Clio, the restaurant in the Eliot Hotel), or ordering takeout at Shino Express Sushi on Newbury Street. ... One of the innovators in the Boston area is Ting San, who presides over 14-seat Oishii in Chestnut Hill, where the waiting line stretches down the block most nights. ... Otto Tsui, the sushi chef for Skipjack's three restaurants, also likes to improvise. In his tiny sushi bar at the Back Bay restaurant (really a sushi closet), he offers us "something different." ... The master of sushi around Boston is Toru Oga, who helped create the Ginza restaurants in Chinatown and Brookline and co-owns Oga's in Natick. ... Sushi Nation chugs along, with new places popping up like mushrooms after rain. Which brings up an important question. If the San Francisco Giants can feature sushi at the ballgame, why can't Red Sox Nation follow suit? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This message was posted via one or more anonymous remailing services.
