Our Nagasaki Bluefin Tuna was served at the Japanese Ambassador’s official reception in Washington DC. We source ikejime-processed fish direct from Japan — the same standard demanded by top Tokyo omakase restaurants. No DC-area restaurant comes close.

Keita’s Pick
Our collaborator Torisumi Yakitori has launched a lunch pop-up at Hank’s Oyster Bar, Dupont Circle. If you’ve had their yakitori, you know what they do. If you haven’t — this is a good reason to go.
Their Tonkatsu is fried in lard. Real lard, not oil. This is how it’s done in Japan — the reason the crust is different, the reason the pork tastes different. How many places in the US actually do this? Few, if any. Torisumi is one of them.
FAQ
How much does delivery cost to Dupont Circle, DC?
Delivery to Dupont Circle, DC typically ranges from $8.00 to $12.99 depending on your specific address. The exact fee is calculated automatically at checkout.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes — $30 minimum. A single portion of our fish easily exceeds this threshold.
Is the fish fresh? How is it kept cold during delivery?
Bluefin Tuna and Sasshu Salmon are delivered vacuum-packed, each with an individual TTI (Time-Temperature Indicator) seal. A green TTI means the cold chain was maintained throughout transit. If the TTI has triggered upon delivery, contact us for a full refund. All orders are packed in an insulated bag with a 1 lb+ ice pack.
What hours do you deliver?
We take delivery orders from 1 pm to 8 pm daily, except on days we are closed. Same-day ordering is available within those hours.
Can I walk in instead of ordering delivery?
Yes — and for Dupont Circle residents, it's easy. Sashimi DC is at 1608 14th St NW inside Rice Market, about a 10-minute walk from Dupont Circle. The shop is open daily 11:30 am–8:00 pm. Walk-ins are welcome any time.
What is the best day to order sashimi delivery to Dupont Circle?
Thursday through Sunday. Our fish arrives from Japan each Wednesday — ikejime-processed Bluefin Tuna and seasonal fish flown direct from Nagasaki and Hokkaido. Because ikejime processing suppresses lactic acid buildup, umami continues to develop over the first couple of days after arrival. Thursday and Friday are ideal for peak flavor; Saturday and Sunday are still excellent.
How do I know if my address is covered?
Enter your address in the item view at checkout — it will confirm whether delivery is available to your location.
Can I use delivery for a home sushi night with kids?
Yes — this is one of the most popular ways families use Sashimi DC. Temaki (hand rolls) are the natural format: no special equipment, no precise knife skills, and children from age 5 or 6 can participate — laying rice on Nori, choosing their fish, rolling the cone. Sasshu Salmon from Kagoshima and Bluefin Tuna Akami are the best starting points for children new to raw fish — both are mild and clean-flavored. The Sashimi DC Home Sushi Kit ($50) covers all the pantry items. See the full sashimi & sushi for families guide →
What fish is available for delivery?
Regular items include Nagasaki Bluefin Tuna (Otoro $74, Chutoro $60, Akami $55 — all 7–9 oz), Sasshu Salmon from Kagoshima, Hokkaido Uni (Bafun and Murasaki), Kagoshima Unagi Kabayaki, and Fresh Wasabi from Shizuoka. Occasional cuts include Hohoniku, Kama, Zuniku, and Nakaochi. Availability reflects what arrived from Japan that week — the shop shows current stock in real time.
Does Sashimi DC deliver to the suburbs?
Yes. Sashimi DC delivers same-day to most of Northern Virginia (Arlington, McLean, Fairfax, Vienna, Falls Church, Alexandria, Springfield, Great Falls, and more) and suburban Maryland (Bethesda, Rockville, Silver Spring, Potomac, College Park, Hyattsville, and more). Enter your address at shop.sashimidc.com to confirm coverage.
Is sashimi delivery safe? How do I know the fish is still good when it arrives?
Yes. Bluefin Tuna and Sasshu Salmon arrive vacuum-packed with an individual TTI (Time-Temperature Indicator) seal on each pack. A green TTI means the cold chain was maintained throughout transit. If the TTI has triggered upon delivery, contact us for a full refund. All orders are packed in an insulated bag with a 1 lb+ ice pack.
