Basho is a Japanese word that is roughly translated as "location" or "a space where activities occur". It could be a family gathering, socializing with friends, or a business event; moreover, it could be the setting for an unforgettable experience. We call this setting "Basho".Basho is a contemporary Izakaya brasserie where dishes are prepared in two separate areas: the principal kitchen and the sushi bar. Rather than offering individual starters and main courses, Basho serves dishes that are designed for sharing and are brought to the table steadily and continuously throughout the meal.Your server will be happy to assist you in choosing dishes, such as our Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice Appetizer, which is highly popular or our specially crafted 1338 Signature Roll. We are also conveniently located within the heart of Fenway. If you're ever in the area for a Red Sox's game, stop by! We are only a 2 minute walk from Fenway Park!

This a beautiful restaurant with delicious food and exceptional service. The appetizers were fabulous, all of us loved our meals, and the bread pudding was the best I’ve ever had. I had messaged ahead that my family needed a quiet, private table to discuss a cancer diagnosis. The compassion of the manager who greeted us when we arrived was so sincere, and all the staff members went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and given privacy. We will definitely return, hopefully next time when I’m cancer free! Thank you again for helping us through a difficult night.
