Seattle's premier sushi chef has become an instititution,

In 1994, Shiro opened up his namesake, Shiro?s in the hip Belltown district of downtown Seattle.
Shiro?s blending of classical Japanese technique with the Pacific Northwest?s wealth of local seafood and ingredients has, as Zagat says, ?set the bar that others aspire to.? He has catered to Japanese Prime Ministers, captains of industry, and world renowned artists and athletes.

Dinner served nightly. Sushi at its best. Don't be surprised if you're seated next to a table of businessmen haggling out a deal in their native Japanese.

He's the granddaddy of sushi chefs, the mentor of many, an entertainer, piscatorial encyclopedia and, to legions of fans, the undisputed king of the local sushi scene. He's Shiro Kashiba, and the best seats at his compact corner shop are at the sushi bar, where putting yourself in the master’s hands can result in a memorable meal. Table service may be spotty, but carefully sourced seafood and...

Since 1994, Shiro has had his own self-titled restaurant in Belltown. The sushi bar seats 11, while dining tables have room for 60. The Yellowtail is like butter; go for the freshwater eel over the saltwater--the oil content and richness is sublime. If possible, avoid peak dinner hours and grab a seat at the sushi bar in front of Shiro himself (he's the elder sushi chef with the whimsical smile).

Chef Shiro Kashiba is deservedly famous for his sushi, but the restaurant's main draw is the chef himself. He sculpts copious amounts of sushi and sashimi while greeting customers, soliciting reactions, and giving eating instructions (no soy sauce with certain nigiri; a little bit on others, and always on the fish side). Don't miss his Shiro's roll, with mackerel, ginger, and shiso leaves, the...

Shiro Kashiba, who trained in one of Tokyo’s most celebrated sushi restaurants, has been feeding Seattle sushi for more than a generation. First at Nikko, the little sushi bar he opened in the International District in 1970, then at the Westin Hotel when Nikko moved uptown, and lately in trendy Belltown. If the space is rather plain, the mood is usually lively, but from the first bite, it’s...

If ogling all the fresh fish at Pike Place Market puts you in the mood for some sushi, then this is the place for you. Shiro's serves the best sushi in the city. It's fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Eat at the sushi bar and you'll be rubbing shoulders with locals and visiting Japanese businessmen, all of whom know that sushi maestro Shiro Kashiba has a way with raw fish. Be sure to...

Best Fish/Sushi in Seattle
brought to you by
Citysearch
Every afternoon, in a stealth-like tour de force Shiro Kashiba scours Pike Place Market for what he deems the ?best fish in town.? Each evening he holds court for a cult-like following of gushing couples and business travelers at his Belltown restaurant. His fabled black cod is a luscious and buttery beginning to any meal. Seasonally, local geoduck, spot prawns, and smelts from the Hood Canal...

Shiro's is an authentic Japanese restaurant, and you can tell by the chef, servers, and quality of food. The menu is limited but only to the best Japanese dishes. If you are looking for authentic Japanese food, go here.
