Out-of-the-Box Omakase, in a BoxNew Quincy restaurant Jūni features elaborate sushi sets, packaged carefully for at-home date nights.
At Momi Nonmi in Cambridge’s Inman Square, chef-owner Chris Chung weaves intricate stories of seafood through semi-private omakase feasts.
At his new Quincy restaurant, Jūni, it’s a decidedly more casual affair, from the squishy butter toy decorations to the service.
“I love izakaya,” says Chung, referring to relaxed, Japanese pub-like establishments; in fact, pre-pandemic, Momi Nonmi was izakaya-inspired when it opened before a COVID-era turn to takeout omakase boxes and, later, in-person omakase.
“We actually came up with the takeout box before anything else,” says Chung.
