Matsuzaka maki roll, shrimp tempura made with hamachi (yellow tail) and a sweet ume sauce. For Oishii chef Ting Yen, shrimp tempura is "like a baseball bat," starting wide at one end, getting narrower near the tail. Yellow tail, he says, "is the most common fish in Boston. And ume sauce is red, so it signifies the Red Sox."
