The tempura was exactly as I remembered it. The shrimp tasted like shrimp: meaty texture and pleasantly sweet. The veggies were the main attraction for me though: the eggplant melted in my mouth and the sweet potato was so sweet. Simply fried, a nice bowl of rice, perfect.
I also treated myself to an order each of baby hamachi (yellowtail) and hotategai (scallop). The baby hamachi was the day’s special, reddish, very different from regular hamachi, with a firmer texture. It didn’t leave much of an impression though, at least, not the way hamachi (one of my favorites) does. The scallop was fine, smooth and creamy, though somewhat bland.
I remember that the last time the tuna was very good and the uni (sea urchin) was fine. My search for the ultimate Boston raw fish will continue for sure.
