I really miss the sushi and other Japanese food in California. Hachi Ju Hachi's Suzuki-san and Yume-ya's Suga-san were really amazing, and definitely spoiled me rotten. Porter Exchange just doesn't quite do it for me anymore. While Sapporo does have delicious ramen, I find myself occasionally longing for a nice, elaborate, slow and leisurely Japanese dinner.
Enter Shiki. That is, we entered Shiki. This is a tiny restaurant in Brookline, with a fair showing of Asian customers. Their offerings were reasonably varied, and solidly decent or better. Certainly no Suzuki-san in the kitchens, but it did an acceptable job of meeting my desires.
