Sashimi DC at Rice Market

Direct from Japan,
inside the market.

Sashimi DC occupies the lower level alongside Rice Market. When you pick up an order — Bluefin Tuna, Sasshu Salmon, Hokkaido Uni, or any other item — you come to this address: 1608 14th St NW, Lower Level.

Rice Market also has its own fish counter selling sashimi-grade Salmon, Tuna, and Hamachi (order one day in advance by phone). The two operations are distinct: the market counter handles walk-in and pre-order cuts, while Sashimi DC handles direct imports from Japan — different supply chains, different fish, same address.
