Our Standard
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.
The Goto Islands Bluefin is farm-raised on a documented mackerel-based diet with no CO treatment and no freezing — arriving with omega-3 integrity intact and with measurably lower mercury than wild-caught alternatives. Raw fish safety guide →

This Week’s Catch
Goto Islands Bluefin Tuna — Ikejime-processed and never frozen — alongside Sasshu Salmon from Kagoshima and seasonal fish, delivered to your door.
How the Fish Gets Here
Bluefin tuna comes from farmers in Goto, Nagasaki — raised from wild seeds with care and slaughtered using ikejime to preserve texture and umami. Sasshu salmon is raised in Sendai, Kagoshima on Chiran tea and mineral groundwater. Both are sent to a specialist processor in Miyazaki, who cuts and packs them for export. From Miyazaki the fish travel to Fukuoka, then to Haneda, then across the Pacific on ANA OCS cargo to IAD — where Keita picks them up personally.
Most imported fish passes through six layers between ocean and table. Sashimi DC works directly with the farmer and processor in Miyazaki, cutting that to three. The shorter chain means faster transit and a direct quality line — if something looks off, Keita messages Japan overnight and it's fixed by the next shipment. Farmed bluefin from Goto Islands also has measurably lower mercury than wild-caught tuna — a shorter grow-out period means less bioaccumulation over time.
There's a regular customer in this neighborhood who orders delivery to an address about three minutes from our door at Rice Market. Maybe busy. Maybe shy. One day we look forward to saying thank you in person.

Sashimi DC delivers ikejime-processed Bluefin Tuna and Hokkaido Uni from Japan ~48 hours from Miyazaki. Our Nagasaki Bluefin was served at the Japanese Ambassador's official reception in DC. That is the standard we deliver to your door.
Yes — $30 minimum. A single portion of our fish easily exceeds this threshold.

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. Fresh sashimi-grade fish should smell clean and oceanic, not fishy or sour. Akami will be naturally dark red-purple — never vivid cherry-red, which signals CO treatment.
No advance order required. Walk-ins are welcome any time during hours (daily 11:30 am– 8:00 pm). Same-day online orders for pickup or delivery are accepted up to closing. For Uni and cuts that sell out quickly, ordering online earlier in the day is recommended. Fish arrives on Wednesdays — Thursday and Friday are the best days for full selection.
Sashimi DC imports directly from the farmer in Nagasaki/Kagoshima and processor in Miyazaki — skipping the exporters, importers, and distributors that typical US seafood passes through. That shorter chain means faster transit and a direct quality line: if packaging, cuts, or cold chain need adjusting, Keita communicates with the processor overnight. The fish reaches your door approximately 48 hours from Miyazaki, never frozen, never CO-treated.
