13 Incredible Japanese Restaurants in Boston

"It’s quite easy to miss this mom-and-pop restaurant at bustling Coolidge Corner. But the unassuming spot opens up once you step inside, emanating both cozy and bright vibes. Lunch is a great opportunity to try kaiseki, a haute Japanese cuisine expressed in set meals with each small dish intricately prepared and placed. Other lunch options include teishoku, a set meal that typically includes miso soup, rice, pickles, and protein; and a variety of noodle dishes. Their dinner menu features soup, vegetables, seafood, and meat dishes that give a more homey vibe and are commonly seen on Japanese dinner tables." - Valerie Li Stack
