A recent analysis of the most expensive meals in every state confirmed what some foodie enthusiasts might have already feared: the highly regarded o ya is home to not just Boston’s most expensive meal, but the highest-priced meal statewide. However, guests get what they pay for at the tiny omakase spot serving Boston since 2007. It’s become the omakase spot if price is not an issue.
The $295 tag includes an immersive omakase experience with “20 edible works of art,” that leaves the menu to the chef like any omakase experience. Omakase items range from A5 wagyu tartare hand rolls to Kona abalone with yuzu, and there’s an entirely vegetarian omakase option as well that goes for the same price tag.
o ya’s been heralded among the “top 17 sushi restaurants in the world,” by The Travel, and boasts a mix of James Beard awards and recognitions.
Foodie math reveals that each bite at o ya is $14.75, making it a little more forgivable to drop that $300, potentially? Here are all of New England’s most expensive meals, that range from $360-$122:
- Connecticut: David Burke Prime (Mashantucket)- $360 Kobe beef filet mignon
