About Sashimi Shinsengumi

Run by Chef Matsui and Tomoko, this Clarke Street counter packs Tokyo-level omakase into luxury takeaway boxes. Regulars bypass standard sushi rolls entirely, texting ahead for chef-curated platters loaded with otoro, sweet sea urchin, and scampi. Every pre-ordered set comes neatly arranged with seasoned rice, genuine grated wasabi, and small ice packs to keep the raw cuts cold on the drive home.

  • Takeaway Omakase Sets: Pre-ordered platters feature luxury cuts like fatty otoro, sweet sea urchin, and scampi alongside seasoned sushi rice.
  • Advance Pre-Orders: Curated sashimi and nigiri assortments must be reserved in advance via SMS or phone call.
  • Transit-Ready Packaging: Each box is carefully packed with chilled ice packs and fresh grated wasabi for transport.

  • Custom Chirashi and Sashimi Components

    Customers can pick up fresh, sliced-to-order sashimi boxes and seasoned sushi rice to assemble custom chirashi bowls or casual lunches at home.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful details that preserve omakase-grade sashimi and sushi for dining at home or outdoors

  • Transit Ice Packs for Chilled Freshness

    Takeaway sushi and sashimi sets include a complimentary ice pack to ensure the fish stays properly chilled during the journey home or to a picnic.

  • Real Grated Fresh Wasabi

    Orders are prepared with authentic freshly grated wasabi rather than reconstituted horseradish paste, preserving genuine Tokyo-standard omakase detail.

  • Flexible Substitutions for Dietary Requests

    When placing pre-orders via direct message, the kitchen readily accommodates individual dietary preferences, such as swapping out eel for curated alternatives.

  • Prepared Sushi Rice for Custom Bowls

    Beyond ready-made platters, seasoned sushi rice is available to purchase separately so diners can assemble custom chirashi bowls or outdoor picnic spreads at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you dine in at the shop?

No. Sashimi Shinsengumi operates strictly as a takeaway-only shop with no dine-in seating. High-grade platters and boxes come carefully packed to travel, often with ice packs included to maintain freshness on your way home or to an outdoor picnic.

Do you need to pre-order sushi platters?

Yes, advance pre-ordering via phone call or SMS is necessary for sushi platters (ideally 24 hours ahead, or well in advance during peak periods). Sliced sashimi packs and seasoned sushi rice may be purchased directly at the counter without a booking, though calling ahead is recommended.

How large are the sushi and sashimi portions?

Large deluxe platters easily serve groups of up to five people, while individual boxes (such as 10-piece sushi sets) and smaller portions like 6-piece scallop sashimi or chirashi sets provide satisfying single or two-person meals.
