I ate this Chirashi Don ) at Uoriki Kaisen Sushi. Get details about where I ate in Tokyo here: The word chirashi in Japanese basically means scattered or a mixture, and so when you have that on top of rice, it means that it's a mess of sashimi and seafood scattered on top of a fresh bowl of rice - which happens to be one of the most amazing creations on the planet. So this was actually my very first day in Tokyo, and we were at Shibuya station, and there's a department store known as Tokyu, connected directly to the station - and that's where we decided to go for lunch. Before getting to the restaurant we actually passed a lot of delicious food that almost tempted me to eat, but luckily we stuck it out and finally found Uoriki Kaisen Sushi Restaurant, which is sort of located at the back of the department store. The restaurant is very small and probably only can accommodate about ten or fifteen eaters at one time, and like many of the restaurants I went to in Tokyo, the menu was very simple and straightforward - you basically eat from a selection of a couple of different very fresh choices. I had my mind set on the chirashi don of course, which is a mix of sashimi and a variety of other seafood on top of a bowl of fresh rice. Ying got the assortment of sushi, which I was able to sample and which happened to be equally as marvelous. So anyway the chefs got to work quickly assembling my my bowl of deliciousness, and it really didn't take long until my chirashi don was fresh from the hands of the chef and sitting on my bar table before me. Since this was my first meal in Tokyo I almost could not believe how beautiful is was, in fact I was almost scared to dig in because it was so beautiful - but luckily I built up the confidence to devour it all. Around the outside of my chirashi don, were a bunch of different kinds of fish, including the finest of all of them, a slice of fatty tuna from the belly which happens to be like pure butter amazing. There were also a couple of slices of omelette, and a huge raw prawn sitting on top as the trophy piece. All of the seafood was extremely fresh and sliced just perfectly. The chirashi don at Uoriki Kaisen Sushi Restaurant was truly an amazing meal, and provided a great experience for dining in Tokyo. So I would definitely recommend it to you if you are in the Shibuya area of Tokyo and need a delicious meal. Open hours: 10 am 9 pm daily Address: Basement of Tokyu Department Store, Shibuya Station, Tokyo Price: Chirashi don 1, 690 JPY (16. 64, sushi plate 1, 090 JPY (10. 73)

Japanese cuisine is always an experience. In Tokyo there are more restaurant than anywhere else in the world. You could spend a lifetime in Tokyo, and do not make it to eat by all restaurants. I love Japanese cuisine, it is so clean, every dish is an experience and the beauty of the dishes is unique. For Asia Food Styl Japan is an exception. they do not use much spices, but left many dishes their natural taste what I think is great. The fine natural fresh taste can be found only in JapanAlthough I love to eat spicy, for curries and chilli I'd do anything. That's the great thing about Asian cuisine, the variety of tastes unique in its Kind.

I love Japanese food We have many restaurants were I live I Vancouver, BC. There aren't that many traditional fine dining though, but it's still good I get comments from my parents about eating Sashimi but I just order what takeout I like. Unfortunately, Japanese food isn't as popular where I live now thanks to Vietmanese restaurants popping up and competing with each-other.

My local go-to Japanese restaurant here in Arizona has a very similar rice bowl and it costs 30 and it does not include the salmon roe or crab. I'm sure the quality and variety of the fish in the 17 bowl in Tokyo is leagues above anything you can find in the States, unless you want to pay an arm and a leg of course lol. Price gouging for exotic food is ridiculous in the U. S.

Love eating sushi but never got into the chirashi style as picking apart the bowl makes me nervous. I can easily see myself dropping pieces of fish everywhere. LOL. Looks like you are really enjoying the high quality food in Japan even though your wallet is begging for mercy. Hope you got to try out some of the less expensive fare like beef bowl places.

While 17 is expensive when compared to street food it's really not that bad when compared to the price for your average dish at a good restaurant. And most dishes at restaurants here that charge around that price aren't going to be anywhere near that quality Nice vid Mark

I went to Tokyo in late December and ate here, all because of this video. I actually sat in the same seat as you, Mark, and had the 1750 yen chirashi. Took me a while to find Uoriki because it's tucked away in the corner of an underground supermarket, but it was worth it

My question falls in line with spaz. The video does not show consumption of shrimp. I have seen you eat the tail but never the head. I know in some cultures it one takes it all down. For me it has always depended on the dish. Prawn all gone?

Uoriki) literally means fish power. I'm not sure if there is a guide how to eat it, but usually we pour soy sauce in a small bowl and add wasabi (Japanese horseradish) as much as you want and mix them. Then pour it over the toppings.

Hey Mark, this is Joey, and I am from China and studying in the US. I plan to travel to Taiwan this summer and dig out all kinds of street food. I definitely watch a lot of your Videos. It's always joyful having delicious food.

just wondering if you had any trouble ordering foods without speaking the language? I noticed you found places with english menus, but what happened when they didn't have one available? Was it awkward with language barriers?
