SUSHI-TEQ, although built on
a small footprint, makes an
electrifying impression. The walls
come alive in bright, changing color
in sync with the rhythm of Salsa
and Merengue playing throughout
the bar. Energy is fervent as
mixologists shake up signature
libations, while chefs are painting
original canvases with artistically-
inspired Sushi innovations.
Electrify The Evening
A Culture of MusicAt SUSHI-TEQ the primary soundtrack is Salsa,
underscoring a complete multi-sensory dining
experience, and contributing to the eclectic,
high-energy vibe throughout the bar.
At its roots, Salsa is a mixture of Spanish and African
music filtered through the cultural histories of Cuba
and Puerto Rico. Its spicy and wild energy fuels diverse
dance steps that pull from a variety of well-known
styles — Cuban son, Mambo, Cha Cha Cha, Merengue,
Cumbia, Rumba, Changuí and others.
There are no strict rules on how to dance or enjoy Salsa,
but its smooth and vibrant sound provides cultural
ambience in perfect context for SUSHI-TEQ patrons.
SUSHI-TEQ honors the Japanese origins of traditional Sushi-making and its truly
unique art form, while integrating the vibrancy of Latin American culture through
music, complementary ingredients and most of all, Tequila.
From its origins in 19th century Japan, the two distinct styles (Kansai and Edo)
were the building blocks for today’s three most well-known Sushi categories:
Makizushi (Maki) >>> This type of sushi is what we know today as a “Roll” or “rolled”
sushi — and there are two main types. The first, Hosmaki, or cut roll, is the most
familiar, while Tamaki is rolled by hand into a cone shape (also known as a “hand roll”).
Nigirizushi (Nigiri) >>> Most true to its origins, this most popularly-known variation
of sushi involves raw cut fish or seafood combined artistically with vinegared “sticky
rice”, and assembled with spices, seaweed, wasabi and other versatile ingredients.
Sashimi >>> Sashimi is fresh, chilled seafood served raw and sliced. The art of
sashimi lies in its elegant arrangement. Unlike sushi, it doesn’t combine the fish with
vinegared rice, therefore only the finest cuts of fish are selected by the sushi chef.
An Art Form Reimagined
Tuna Tataki
The creation of sushi is a true art form, and has
colorful tales associated with it. In Japan, the
itamae (sushi chef) is the soul of the traditional sushi
bar, and follows many traditions not practiced
elsewhere in the world.
At SUSHI-TEQ, the art of Sushi is upheld by
the central Japanese belief that nature cannot
be improved. Thus, our food & beverage staff
continuously source the finest seafood available on
the market. Our chefs are presented with the task
of preparing and executing each dish in such a way
that its natural beauty and taste is not lost, but
elevated to the highest level.

Pride in PreparationThe simplicity of Sashimi requires a critical level of presentation and arrangement, utilizing
the finest ingredients found across the world. Its preparation may appear simple,
but actually demands the utmost in artistry and attention to detail. The
Chef’s yanagiba, one of the special knives reserved to create
Sashimi, is sharpened only on one side of its edge, to
ensure absolute precision through the sliced
cross section of each piece of Sahsimi.
Tequila:A Spirit Rich In Cultural Heritage
Tequila was first introduced in the 15th century
near the city of Tequila (Mexico). Aztecs had
enjoyed a naturally fermented alcoholic beverage
they called pulque, before the Spanish arrived in
1521. When Spanish conquistadors ran out of
their stash of personal brandy, they began to distill
a fermented beverage made from agave, producing
some of the first indigenous distilled spirits.
Planting, tending, and harvesting the agave plant
remains a manual effort, largely unchanged by
modern farm machinery and relying on centuries-
old know-how.
At SUSHI-TEQ we pride ourselves on serving the
finest tequilas:
Blanco (“white”) or Plata (“silver”) is a white spirit
with little or no aging.
Reposado (“rested”) is aged a minimum of two
months, but less than a year in oak barrels of
any size.
Añejo (“aged” or “vintage”) is aged a minimum
of one year, but less than three years in small
oak barrels.

Lights Out Over Boston
We love Sushi-Teq. We go every time we’re in Boston (not as often as we’d like), and they remember us every time. We’re tequila snobs, and appreciate their serious selection, as well as their honesty and recommendations - we’ve bought several tequilas based on their advice, and most recently recommended one to them. The sushi is creative and tasty, a perfect match for good tequila.
This is a great combination, I have been to this place several times and the sushi is always great. They have a cool wall that changes color, and an amazing view into the channel and the new Boston Tea Party Museum. Highly recommend it.
Well done and fresh! My first time mixing tequila and sushi. They have a great selection of tequilas.
