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.

  • Harbourside and Outdoor Picnic Dining

    Thoughtfully packaged platters with ice packs allow diners to enjoy luxury raw seafood outdoors by Sydney Harbour.

    We like get the huge sashimi platter and sit by the water at Blue's Point Reserve to eat it.

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.

Before you head over

Practical ordering and collection advice for your takeaway omakase experience.

  • Plan for Takeaway Only

    The venue operates strictly as a takeaway counter with no dine-in seating. Platters come neatly packaged with an ice pack so you can transport your raw fish safely home or to a nearby park.

  • Pre-Order Platters in Advance

    Curated sushi platters cannot be grabbed on a whim and require ordering ahead via phone or SMS—often at least 24 hours in advance for large orders, with set pick-up windows like noon for lunch.

  • Walk In for Sashimi and Sushi Rice

    If you did not pre-order a full sushi platter, you can still drop by to purchase sliced sashimi boxes and seasoned sushi rice directly from the counter to assemble your own chirashi bowl.
