Umami Omakase

Only open since late 2019, Umami Omakase is a fairly new addition to the Boston area’s high-end omakase scene, but the young spot has been wowing diners since day one. Uni alum Gary Lei is at the helm, and plenty of luxury ingredients come out to play, from wagyu to foie gras.

At Umami, there are no a la carte options. All you have to do is choose from three different omakase alternatives. You get 12 classes for $68, which is a great deal. With the addition of foie gras and wagyu beef, the price jumps to $98. For $138, you may take 18 courses that will make you feel like you have built-in bookshelves in your "parlor room". the quality does not suffer as a result of the accessibility. There are a lot of subtle touches that make each piece special, starting with the fact that they utilize house-fermented brown rice instead of white, which is delicious as well as unique. You can order otoro flavored with bacon grease and sashimi topped with garlic fries from there.
