The popular Japanese neighborhood restaurant and wine shop, Seiyo, will permanently close on October 31st after 19 years in business in the South End.
Located at 1721 Washington Street, near the corner of Washington and Mass Ave, this block has seen several restaurants close over the past couple of years, including Teranga and Bar Lyon. No doubt the current challenges associated with Boston’s Methadone Mile, which is relatively nearby, and urban blight from the defunct Alexandria Hotel only make news of their closure more upsetting. Neighbors will not only miss the food and wine shop but also the foot traffic Seiyo brought throughout the evening.
Steve Yung, the owner and manager had a wonderful streak and I’d like to wish him much luck with whatever he chooses to do next. The neighborhood will miss Seiyo.
