Oiishi Boston - May 10, 2014

For my birthday we returned to Oiishi. I had wanted to go to O-ya but they were fully booked until later in May and I didn't want to wait for good sushi.

This time we did not have too much to drink and ordered a little bit less so we were so full.

The restaurant was much busier than when we went for New Year's Eve.

Brent had a Lychee martini and I ordered a glass of l'Hortus Rose.

Here's what we ate:

  • Ishiyaki Wagyu Beef - love it! 6 raw slices of Wagyu beef in a marinade. They bring you a hot rock and you cook it for only a few seconds on each side. So tasty. 
  • Avocado Terrine - This one was fun. The avocado was chopped up and resting on a layer of ice. There was a sauce underneath the ice. I had to break the ice to get the avocado to fall into the source. Also quite tasty.
  • Wild king sake (salmon) sushi - much softer than the salmon sushi I am used to.
  • Sake Toro sushi  
  • White Salmon sushi 
  • Unagi (fresh water eel) sushi
  • Unagi with avocado sushi
  • O-toro (tuna) sushi
  • Snow crab sushi
  • Cripsy Mango maki - Brent liked this one a lot. I thought it was good, but probably not my favorite
  • Kumamoto oyster tempura maki - we didn't like this one. All the flavor of the oyster is gone when it is warm. We prefer it raw.
  • Molten Chocolate Cake
  • Yubari ice melon

Overall, it was a very yummy meal. I'm glad we went.
