For the finale dinner in this trip to Seattle, I knew that I wanted the evening to be a showstopper. A quick round of research illuminated a clear winner: Shiro’s Sushi. Partly because I wanted something more casual than Sushi Kashiba.
When we arrived, my first impressions of Shiro’s Sushi were clean, cozy and quality. We were seated next to the action – right next to the kitchen. It was dinner – and a delicious show.
As the menu for the evening was CHEF’S OMAKASE COURSE (4 course meal featuring 19 pieces of assorted nigiri sushi), we had the pleasure of sitting back, savoring, biting and enjoying what was put before us.

Extras
In my final thoughts, there’s really not much to say other than everything was outstanding. Shiro’s Sushi accepted my substitutions and replaced the pieces I didn’t want without problems. Overall, dinner at Shiro’s was exactly what I wanted: a place of relaxed refinement for a very special dinner.
