"You probably need an excuse for a a splurge-y night out. Luckily, the 18-course chef-curated meals at this new beauty in a South End brownstone lean on the luxe side. While the menu changes often, past courses have included salmon roe and amberjack fish tucked into a mochi rice cracker shell, plus Hokkaido hairy crab served with uni and caviar, and a palate cleanser of miso soup with a rich anchovy broth. And the 411 on 311: The restaurant offers two services for ten people every night, excluding Tuesdays. And hey, at $250 per person, it’s still cheaper than a flight to Japan, where co-owners Carrie Ko and chef Wei Fa Chen source most of their seafood." - Erika Adams, Nathan Tavares
