: I haven't actually seen the review, but apparently the Boston Globe has : called the new Brookline location of Ginza, "the best sushi restaurant in : Boston".  So much for getting a table there! :)

: But on the plus side, the Boston Sushi Society outing to the new location : left us in total agreement with the Globe.  Menu was broad, food was : fantastic, decor was serene, service was fast, saki menu was large and : diverse, fish was fresh, fresh, fresh. : 					Very truly yours, : 					Ms. Margo

The review was in the Boston Phoenix.  Also in the review was a mention of Ginza's sake bar with it's 13 different sakes.  They recommended trying the Onikoroshi (which means "devil killer" by the way) which is the most expensive sake at $8.50 for one of those small sake serving carafes.  Having had the Onikoroshi there, I would agree.  It is well worth it -- amazing!  Be sure to order it room temperature.  Most sake served here (in the U.S.) is way over heated and overcooked.

A friend of mine ate there some days after the review came out and said that "everybody in the place" was ordering Onikoroshi.

For those that get addicted to the stuff, I located a store in Washington D.C. which sells the 1.8 liter bottle of Onikoroshi for $78.99.
