Shiro's Sushi, Japanese restaurant in Belltown, Seattle, US
Shiro's Sushi is a Japanese restaurant in Seattle that focuses on careful sushi preparation using fish sourced fresh daily from local and international suppliers. The space offers both a set course experience at tables and an omakase service at the sushi bar where the chef works directly with each guest.
Chef Shiro Kashiba opened this restaurant after building decades of culinary expertise across Japan and America. His work earned recognition through major culinary awards and nominations from the food industry.
The restaurant shaped Seattle's sushi culture by introducing Edomae-style preparation from Tokyo Bay, a tradition visitors can observe directly at the counter. The specific techniques for handling and serving fish reflect centuries of Japanese culinary practice.
The restaurant operates both during afternoon and evening hours with two distinct dining experiences at different price points. The sushi bar seating with direct interaction with the chef fills quickly, so planning ahead is advisable.
The chef sources fish each day from Pacific Northwest waters and distant international suppliers, adjusting what is served based on what arrives fresh. This commitment to seasonal availability means the menu constantly shifts, making no two visits identical.
