Lobster tempura at Brookline’s Fugakyu Restaurant Photo uploaded by
Coolidge Corner is one of my favorite places in Boston. Well, technically, it’s not in Boston proper, but all it takes is a short ride on the C-Line to take you to this charming Brookline neighborhood. Coolidge Corner is home to an eclectic assortment of shops, restaurants, and an independent movie theater appropriately named the .
But one of the best reasons to visit is for the sushi. Located at 1280 Beacon Street, is consistently ranked as Boston’s best sushi. I recently had my first Fugakyu experience for my boyfriend’s birthday a few weeks ago. He is a sushi connoisseur, and I’m, well, not so much. But as soon as I stepped into the restaurant’s lavishly decorated entryway, I felt as if I’d been transported to a traditional Japanese teahouse. The waitresses float from table to table wrapped in elegant kimonos, and the expansive multi-floor restaurant features bamboo-enclosed booths, screen Tatami rooms, a cocktail bar, and more.
The menu offers plenty of selection for sushi and non-sushi lovers alike. All of the food comes plated elegantly like above. I ordered a plate of the yaki udon with fried tofu and, since I’m vegetarian, I thought I’d try the inari sushi (which is fried bean curd). My boyfriend got his sushi fix with the caterpillar maki, a whimsical concoction of eel, cucumber, scallion, and spicy mayo. We topped that off with glasses of Ume-Shu, Choya (plum wine) and a bowl of delicious tempura ice cream. All in all, a delightful dining experience, even for those who aren’t adventurous sushi-eaters.
