Great sashimi options. The owners are kind and can slice fish chunks for free. Some other food items such as udon are more expensive than other Asian supermarkets.

got custom Chirashi bowls, the pictures on the wall showed that the bowl includes wasabi and ginger, but they didn't give any and refused to provide wasabi when we asked. I can't imagine a legit shop selling chirashi dons without wasabi, what a joke

Ordered $370 worth of rolls today. After I went to check out I needed another plastic box and the lady in front started questioning me why I needed a plastic box. Lady kept asking why I needed it, of course I’m having a party and need space for the sushi and was willing to pay for it and she gave me a weird look. They also charge for wasabi and chopsticks. This shop isn’t like your other shops where they throw a handful of soy sauce, wasabi, ginger etc in your bag. If you’re planning to place a mass order DO NOT go here. This place is very stingy with items and the cashier was awful.

This Japanese sashimi specialty store located in Newton, Boston, sells fresh sashimi, raw-grade seafood, and other Japanese products. You can customize sashimi donburi, which is fresh and delicious.

This became my favorite local store for fresh sashimi in small portions. I appreciate their consistency in cleanness and quality over the years.

Kanikama was only $3.99. There was enough of it for several meals and it was pre-cooked. Doesn't get any better.

Very good quality with price. #no.1 bowl

Great place. They are nice people and clean place with very good quality food.
I heard about Sakanaya very recently and was excited to load up on some fresh sashimi. We tried a variety of items and here's what we thought.
Delicious, would definitely get again - Argentinian red shrimp are really nice and succulent. - Tako wasa tastes like restaurant quality and is only $3 -- definitely a good deal! - Salmon scraps are good, great for poke bowls.
Maybe would get again - Whole salmon was pretty good, not much fishiness.
Wouldn't get again - Sweet shrimp were not super sweet/fresh-tasting. Argentinian red shrimp was much better. - Bluefin tuna toro was a miss. It had a lot of chewy pieces of fat. Maybe I picked the wrong piece.
I would get the Argentinian red shrimp, tako wasa, and salmon scraps again!

Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. The staff seemed uninterested in providing good customer service, and my order was neglected while they attended to other tasks. Will not come back again to waste my time.

I cannot recommend this business highly enough. Not only was the fish fresh and absolutely delicious, the owners were friendly, helpful, and endlessly patient with me as I tried to figure out what and how much to buy in order to make sushi for my husband’s birthday dinner. An all around wonderful experience!

Sakanaya is amazing, and a must-visit for seafood lovers in Boston. You can pick out different kinds of fresh fish, and they will cut it up and serve it as a chirashi bowl over rice. They also have an AMAZING deal where you can pay only $8 for various pre-set chirashi bowls that they make in front of you. The bowls I selected only cost about $20, and I’d probably have to pay twice that much to get this amount of quality fresh fish at an average sushi restaurant. Sakanaya is the best!

This is a wonderful neighborhood stop. It would be great if they would stock frozen tempura shrimp in addition to the takoyaki and edamame
Very fresh sashimi and nigiri sushi
