Located on the second floor of McCully Shopping Center, Bozu Japanese Restaurant has been pleasing its customers with flavorful cuisine since opening three years ago. The restaurant boasts a variety of choices on its menu, from solid traditional dishes such as sushi rolls and sashimi, tempura and udon, to a myriad of creative Japanese dishes.
“We will continue to create a space where our customers can relax and we will continue to provide delicious dishes,” said owner/chef Katsuhiro Hoshi. “We aim for a restaurant where you can have a good time.”
Indeed, among the innovative and delectable items that provide the good vibes at Bozu is the Yamaimo and Sea Urchin Beef Roll ($16 for three pieces). The chef rolls yams with Shiso (Japanese basil) and combines them with seared beef. Everything is topped with the sea urchin and wasabi and accompanied by a ponzu sauce dip.
A crispy choice available for those who favor some crunch with their meal is the Taro Chips and Spicy Tuna Tumami ($14.50). First the chef slices Hawaiian taro which is fried to make chips. Then, Hawaiian tuna gets mixed with masago and a homemade spicy mayonnaise sauce. The mixture is accompanied by pieces of avocado that can be placed on the chips.
Sushi lovers can opt for the restaurant’s signature Bozu Special Roll ($21.50). This consists of futomaki sushi wrapped with tuna, yellowtail, salmon, crab meat, avocado and cucumber. The roll is cut into eight pieces and garnished with seasoned salmon roe on top.
A fourth indulgent menu item at the establishment is the Lobster Tempura Roll ($19.50). It is crafted with futomaki sushi wrapped with lobster tail tempura, lettuce, cucumber and avocado. This elegant dish is drizzled with unagi sauce and spicy mayonnaise.
