O Ya Lives Up to Its Hype – Is This Boston's Best Sushi? 🍣✨

After playing tennis yesterday afternoon, I treated myself to a solo omakase experience at O Ya, Boston’s legendary sushi destination. The 20-course chef’s menu was nothing short of spectacular! 🎌🍴 Blending traditional Japanese techniques with French and Italian influences—and even a touch of molecular gastronomy—each dish was a masterpiece. Here were my favorites: 🌟 CADILLAC OYSTER 🦪 Fried oyster with squid ink foam—simultaneously tangy, crispy, and tender. A perfect harmony of textures and flavors! 🌟 TORCHED SABA HANDROLL 🌿🔥 A handroll with expertly torched mackerel and fresh green onions. The balance was impeccable! 🌟 WAGYU BEEF SKEWERS 🥩🍢 Grilled to perfection! The spicy sauce on the side looked pretty but didn’t enhance the flavor—skip it. ⚠️ Minor Downsides: Some ingredients lacked refinement 🧐 Portions are tiny (classic omakase style), which can feel overwhelming Prices are steep compared to similar high-end spots 💸 With Boston’s Michelin guide coming soon, O Ya is absolutely a contender for a star ⭐️🍽️. #OYaBoston #SushiLovers #Omakase #MichelinStar #BostonEats #FoodieReview #JapaneseCuisine 🏙️🎌
