Kotobukiya, the Exchange’s sushi counter, is by far the cheapest sushi in the immediate Harvard area. Miso soup comes at $.99 a bowl, and each piece of sashimi is $.99 as well.

By the end of the meal, you will have confirmed your response to Francesco's opening query: yes, I like fish?more than ever. $40-45 per person, Via P. Verri...
