Chirashi Don,
Honestly was not introduce to this until I went to Brush Sushi Izakaya. After having it for the first time, I started to wonder why I was so satisfied. Then I realized why. The dish is a deconstructed, perfectly portioned dish of raw fish and sushi rice, that you can eat at your own choice of fish to rice ratio. I’m one who loves the thicker cuts of fish served in a sashimi dish, but would love to have the sweet and vinegar flavors of sushi rice. This dish gives you a mix of both worlds. Google it and prepare to be underwhelmed if you are comparing it to this dish. Here, chirashi don is presented like a work of art. An assorted variety of sliced seafood (includes shrimp, octopus, scallops, salmon, tuna, tamago, salmon roe, etc.) on a bed of sushi rice with a mix of seaweed and onions. Another great part of the dish is that their wasabi is REAL freshly grated wasabi and is accompanied by a spray bottle of soy sauce to apply just the right amount. Every time I’ve gone back I’ve ordered this dish, along with something new to try. For $22 this dish is reasonably price and/or better compared to sashimi dishes at other locations. Again staggered hours and days opened so before you head out, check their hours.
