I ate this Chirashi Don (ちらし寿司) at Uoriki Kaisen Sushi. Get details about where I ate in Tokyo here: http://migrationology.com/2014/03/tokyo-travel-guide-for-food-lovers/
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 (ちらし寿司), 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.

Traditional rules for eating Japanese food. #1. Eat soup first and soak chopsticks in the soup so rice won't sick on chopsticks.
Mark i love your videos , your content is great!
Just one thing, in all your videos there are 0 things you disliked when you have tried so many tastes. It makes your reactions lose impact.

Japanese put the utmost in anything they do, remarkable people.
I can't believe I missed your whole Japan food tour I'm enjoyably catching up tonight 08/24/16 A Wow Thumbs Up Mark & Ying!
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.
Being fresh is a given at a Tokyo sushi rest. You do not need to state how fresh it is. It insults the sushi chef.
I like your face when you chew
the tea is called genmaicha green tea
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?
you are making me so hungry omgggggggggggggggg and only 17 dolars ?
You should try Sushizanmai restaurant next time Wien
You know the food isn't good when mark doesn't close is eyes and tilt his head.?
The taiko drums at the beginning of this episode sounds like your opening theme drumming. Is that where it came from?
I watch your videos at least 5 times a day ! XD Japanese food is so yum! 🙂
can you not say food tastes pure? what does that even mean when something tastes pure?? i've been in the restaurant industry since college and no one says that….
ur face is just so annoying…i have to stop watching it
Uoriki Kaisen Sushi is becoming popular due to this video and LadyIronChef. There were foreigners in the restaurant both times I ate there in June.
all your videos are amazing, keep it up!
Your facial expressions are just priceless!
Did you pour a little of Soy Sauce?
dude can you stop making that face everytime you eat, GOD DAMN IT MAN
That looks amazing! I love these videos, it makes me want to go to japan even more
Seeing the food was satisfying until u put it into your mouth and out xame that disgusting expression on your face. Seriously stop with that kind of expression…
