Happy Holidays — Winter Bluefin at Its Peak

Happy Holidays — Winter Bluefin at Its Peak — Sashimi DC Washington DC

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays

We hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. We are closed December 25th but back in full swing for the final stretch of 2025.

Holiday Schedule: * Dec 25: Closed * Dec 26 – Dec 31: Open Normal Hours (11:30 AM – 8:00 PM)

Bluefin Tuna: The Science Behind the Flavor

Our Bluefin Tuna continues to be absolutely amazing. Why is the quality so high right now? The seawater temperature has dropped, lowering the fish's Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). However, they are still consuming the same amount of food as in summer. The result: incredible fat storage and richness. Whether you are looking for Akami, Chutoro, or Otoro, you are getting the absolute peak of winter quality.

New Year's Arrivals: Madai, Kuruma-ebi & More

Fresh Madai from Nagasaki: The classic celebratory fish, available in Saku (perfect for sashimi) and Collars (ideal for a rich, savory soup). Also arriving: Kuruma-ebi (Japanese Tiger Prawn), Saba (Mackerel), and the rare Noresore (Conger eel).

Sip While You Shop

We are opening special bottles of wine every day for sample tasting to celebrate the end of the year. Come enjoy a glass while you select your New Year's Eve seafood.

New Year's Knife Sharpening

Tip: Bring your knives in before December 31st. New Year's Eve will be very busy — plan ahead and I may not be able to sharpen on that specific day.

Order fresh sashimi-grade fish for same-day pickup or delivery in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
