Cupid has his sights set on XOXO Sushi Bar in Chestnut Hill this Valentine’s Day weekend. From February 14-16, Chef Kegan Stritchko will present a luxe, multi-course jukusei omakase tasting menu utilizing XOXO’s advanced in-house dry-ager and jukusei technique – “aging” in Japanese, where fish used in sushi is salted or soaked in vinegar then matured for several days – that features local and rare sea treasures designed with indulgent and intriguing flavor profiles.
For three nights, the jukusei omakase experience will be showcased over 11-courses ($175 per guest): an Island Creek oyster with leche de tigre and dill; hirame usuzukuri with yuzu dashi, candied quinoa and lemon zest; madai and shima aji nigiri; chef’s choice of five pieces of sashimi; hiramasa and Ora King salmon nigiri; chawanmushi with savory egg custard, snow crab and ikura; bluefin tuna and akamutsu nigiri; a negitoro handroll with bluefin tuna belly, scallion and shiso; grilled langoustine with miso butter, kimchi and chili oil; A5 wagyu beef tartare with black garlic, caviar and taro root; and a dessert of Thai chili chocolate ice cream with chocolate ganache and cranberry gel.
On the liquid side, sip on the specialty Ex’s & Oh’s ($18), a reimagined margarita crafted with rose tea-infused tequila, strawberry puree and lime juice.
