At Masamoto Gourmet Sushi & Asian Grill, chef Johnny Cai offers things you don’t see on pedestrian sushi-sashimi menus: sea urchin, flying fish roe, horse mackerel. Rolls are aptly named. The Philly gets smoked salmon and cream cheese. The Boston get shrimp, lettuce and mayo. A fave: the Spider of fried soft shell crab, leaf lettuce, avocado, roe and eel sauce. 1810 Wilmington Pike, Chadds Ford, Pa., (610) 358-5538, masamotosushi.com
