Sugidama Soba & Izakaya

Sugidama - Review - Davis Square - Boston - The Infatuation

"Sugidama cooks up Japanese dishes that are hard to find elsewhere in Boston. We’re talking about things like charred beef enoki yakitori, hot and perfectly chewy soba noodles in a clear broth with airy root vegetable tempura, and crispy baby octopus karaage with mayo. We love the sake options here, too, which showcase a few bottles from all over Japan, as well as their cocktails, like the light and spritzy Kyoto Sunrise. The restaurant is always busy, but it’s never obnoxiously loud, making it a great spot to eavesdrop on the throuple flirting at the bar." - Lala Thaddeus
