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.
