Boston | FuGaKyu, a highly popular Japanese restaurant

🍣 Hourai: Brookline’s Vibrant Japanese Gem—Where Innovation Meets Tradition Brookline is full of culinary surprises, and Hourai stands out as a beloved Japanese spot blending creative dishes with a charming atmosphere. From traditional decor to private booths and even a koi pond at the entrance, it’s easy to see why it draws crowds—families, couples, and locals alike. While the menu leans slightly Americanized (a hit with non-Japanese diners), there’s plenty of authentic fare to satisfy purists too. 🌟 The Dishes We Loved Chirashi 🐟 A must for sashimi fans. Thick, fresh slices of fish (think tuna, salmon, yellowtail) pile high over seasoned rice—each bite is a burst of briny, melt-in-your-mouth flavor. It’s hearty, satisfying, and a classic done right. Kamameshi 🍚 A rare find: Japanese (pot-cooked rice) infused with tender beef and its savory broth. Served tableside by staff in traditional Japanese attire, they lift the lid to release a cloud of steam, then mix the rice and beef to ensure every grain soaks up the flavor. It’s comfort food elevated—warm, rich, and deeply satisfying. Blue Fin Crudo 🌊 A sleek, modern starter. Ultra-tender bluefin tuna paired with crisp onion, capers, and a bright vinaigrette-like sauce. It’s light, zesty, and perfect for waking up your palate—equal parts Japanese precision and Western flair. Wagyu Shrimp Tempura Maki đŸ„© A indulgent roll. Seared wagyu (with a hint of char from the torch) wraps around a whole shrimp tempura, topped with a sprinkle of caviar. The contrast—rich, buttery beef, crispy tempura, and briny caviar—works beautifully. Crispy Tuna Bites đŸŒ¶ïž A crowd-pleaser (especially with American friends). Tuna pieces fried to a crisp, tossed in a creamy, slightly spicy sauce. It’s bold, addictive, and way more delicious than it sounds. 😊 Fun for All Tastes Koibito Maki đŸ„‘ A creamy, Americanized roll: avocado, shrimp tempura, and sweet crab. It’s rich, satisfying, and leans sweet—no wonder it’s a hit with non-traditionalists. 📝 Tips for Your Visit Deals: Check 鄭曹 (Fantuan) for discounts—use code “BOSTON” for $7 off, a great way to save. Parking: Easy street parking nearby—no stress hunting for spots. Vibe: Private booths, traditional decor, and koi at the door make it perfect for dates or family meals. Hourai balances innovation and tradition, with something for everyone—whether you crave authentic sashimi or creative rolls. Its popularity is well-earned, and with those deals? It’s a no-brainer. 📍 Hourai Brookline, MA (look for the koi pond—you’ve found it) #BrooklineEats #BostonJapanese #FusionFlavors
