Why isn't this Japanese food a hit? Boston must eat

🍣 Kenzoku Mazesoba: Boston’s Must-Try Japanese Spot—Worth the Wait, and Better Than Tora I’ve had this place saved for ages—weekend lines always scared me off. But finally, I tried it, and wow: highly recommended. For my money, it’s way better than Tora, which has been slipping over the past three years (though I haven’t checked back lately—maybe it’s improved?). 🔥 The Standouts (Order These First) Uni Shooter: 5 stars. A single, perfect bite: rich uni, popping fish roe, and a soft quail egg. Just a touch salty, but that umami punch? Unbeatable. Sake Uni Taco: 5 stars. More uni magic—creamy, briny, and wrapped in a crispy shell. The sake adds a subtle kick that elevates the whole thing. Mentaiko Cream Noodles: 6 stars. My night’s MVP. Spicy cod roe cream sauce coating chewy noodles—creamy, savory, and just spicy enough. The only tiny flaw? The chashu (pork) was a bit tough. No matter—I’d order this again in a heartbeat. 🥢 Solid Picks Salmon Donburi: 4 stars. Nothing groundbreaking, but the salmon is fresh, the rice fluffy, and it hits that “satisfying bowl” vibe. Reliable, if not revolutionary. Yuzu Soda: Refreshingly citrusy—way better than the plum version. The perfect palate cleanser between rich dishes. 💡 Perspective Let’s be clear: It’s not NYC-level Japanese food (Boston’s 5 stars vs. NYC’s 4 stars, if we’re scoring). But for Boston? It’s top-tier. Portions are generous, flavors are bold, and the vibe is casual enough for a quick bite or a longer meal. 📍 Kenzoku Mazesoba: If it were closer to home, I’d be here weekly. Don’t let the lines deter you—this spot lives up to the hype. #BostonJapaneseFood #SushiLovers #FoodieFinds
