Home/Gift Cards

The perfect gift for the foodie in your life.
Any amount, delivered instantly.

Fish is perishable — a physical gift often isn't. A Sashimi DC gift card lets the recipient choose exactly what they want, whenever they're ready to eat it: Bluefin Tuna, Sasshu Salmon, Hokkaido Uni, and more. Send it by email or text, add a personal note, and it's ready to use the same day.

$10–$500
Any amount you choose

Redeemable in-store and online, for pickup or same-day delivery across DC, MD, and VA.

Is a Sashimi DC gift card a good gift?

Yes — a gift card is often a better fit than a physical gift of fish, since fish is perishable and best ordered when the recipient is ready to eat it. A Sashimi DC gift card ($10–$500) lets them choose their own fish, cuts, and timing, for pickup or same-day delivery across DC, MD, and VA. Send it by email or text, to one person or a list, with an optional personal message. Purchase at shop.sashimidc.com/s/gift-cards.

A few ideas

What they might order.

A gift card doesn't have to be abstract. Here's what recipients most often put it toward, so you can picture what you're giving.

Bluefin Tuna Otoro — Goto, Nagasaki

Goto Islands, Nagasaki

Bluefin Tuna

Ikejime-processed, never frozen. Otoro, Chutoro, and Akami — the centerpiece cut for anyone building a home omakase.

$55–$74

 Sasshu Salmon — Kagoshima, Japan

Kagoshima, Japan

Sasshu Salmon

Tank-raised on Chiran tea and mineral groundwater, never frozen. A mild, crowd-pleasing pick and the only source outside Japan.

$65

 Hokkaido Uni — Bafun sea urchin

Hokkaido, Japan

Hokkaido Uni

Bafun and Murasaki sea urchin, sweet and oceanic. A strong pick for someone who already knows they love uni.

$50–$180

Good to know

Why a gift card beats a gift of fish.

Sashimi-grade fish is best eaten fresh, close to the day it's ordered — which makes it an awkward thing to gift directly. A gift card sidesteps that entirely: the recipient orders exactly what they want, exactly when they want to eat it, whether that's this week or next month.

🎁

Great for foodies

Recipients who already know their preferences — Otoro vs. Akami, a specific uni size — can order precisely what they want.

👥

Easy to split or group-gift

Invite up to 10 people to contribute to one card, or send individual cards to an entire list at once.

📱

No shipping, no timing risk

Delivered instantly by email or text — useful for last-minute gifts.

🍣

Works toward anything in the shop

Bluefin Tuna, Sasshu Salmon, Hokkaido Uni, the Home Sushi Kit — the recipient isn't limited to one product.

Common Questions

Gift Cards — FAQ

Is a Sashimi DC gift card a good gift?

Yes — a gift card is often a better fit than a physical gift of fish, since fish is perishable and best ordered when the recipient is ready to eat it. A Sashimi DC gift card lets them choose their own fish, cuts, and timing, for pickup or same-day delivery across DC, MD, and VA. Amounts range from $10 to $500.

What amount can I put on a Sashimi DC gift card?

Any amount between $10 and $500.

Can I send a gift card to more than one person at once?

Yes. You can send individual gift cards to a list of recipients in one purchase by entering their emails separated by commas — useful for gifting a whole team, family, or group of friends at once.

Can a group of us chip in together for one gift card?

Yes. You can start a group gift card and invite up to 10 contributors to add funds toward a single card for one recipient.

How is a Sashimi DC gift card delivered?

By email or text message, sent directly to the recipient. There is no physical card to mail — it's ready to use as soon as it's sent.

Can I add a personal message to the gift card?

Yes, a personal message is optional when you send the card.

Where can a Sashimi DC gift card be used?

At the Sashimi DC fish counter (1608 14th St NW, inside Rice Market) and online at shop.sashimidc.com, for both pickup and delivery orders.

What should I buy with a Sashimi DC gift card?

Recipients typically use it toward Bluefin Tuna (Otoro, Chutoro, Akami), Sasshu Salmon, Hokkaido Uni, or the Home Sushi Kit — the card covers anything in the shop, so the recipient can choose what's freshest and in stock when they order.

I don't know what fish to get someone — is there a simpler gift option?

Yes — that's exactly what a gift card solves. Rather than guessing at cuts, seasons, or portion sizes, a Sashimi DC Gift Card ($10–$500) lets the recipient choose their own fish and timing. It's a better fit than a national curated gift box too, since it's redeemable for same-day local delivery or pickup in DC, MD, and VA — not a shelf-stable item shipped from out of state.
