Chirashi is a popular Japanese don restaurant located on Wan Chai Road between Wan Chai and Causeway Bay. The restaurant is cozy restsaurant serving big bowls of sashimi don and some other Japanese food at the reasonable price. The restaurant is well stocked with a wide range of Japanese rice wine as well as a display of sashimi. Besides, they only use Japanese rice which would be a lot stickier than Chinese/Thai rice.

Chirashi is a popular Japanese don restaurant located on Wan Chai Road between Wan Chai and Causeway Bay. The restaurant is cozy restsaurant serving big bowls of sashimi don and some other Japanese food at the reasonable price.
The restaurant is well stocked with a wide range of Japanese rice wine as well as a display of sashimi. Besides, they only use Japanese rice which would be a lot stickier than Chinese/Thai rice.
We have ordered a 享丼丼 which is to share among 2 ppl for $488. The don has two layers with the bottom layer filled with Japanese rice with crab roes and the top layer covered with different types of sashimi, including uni tofu, tamago roll, salmon roe, salmon, octopus, Matsuba crab and more!
We were recommended to have the uni tofu first, then the tamago.
Moving on to the array of sashimi, and you can enjoy the sashimi along with the crab legs. Among them, I liked the crab the most because of its strong seawater flavour and the sea water literally comes out once you bite into it.
Afterward, you may move on to the body of the crab because it has a stronger taste when comparing to the legs of the crab.
Some ginger sauce is also provided on the side for you to dip the fresh crab meat in. The taste of the crab changed and the sweetness intensify afterward. A great alternative to enjoy this delicate crab meat.
The rice underneath is generous enough to share among two ppl, it looked big but it's actually a very thin layer. The rice has been mixed with some shrimp roe with a big dollop of crab roe in the middle. The crab roe tasted very strong with a savoury taste. Therefore, it's best to enjoy with some rice.
Some crab meat is also mixed in with the rice, therefore I also liked to take the meat out from the crab and mix that into the rice for more flavour!
The body of the crab has a strong flavour as I have mentioned before. The sea water taste is very strong and the meat is still very juicy with firmed.
You can also ask for a pot of crab soup to make a soup rice after some time. The crab soup is hot with a flavourful sweetness and natural seafood taste. A great way to lighten up the taste from the crab roe. To me personally, I really enjoyed to have the rice with the soup because it heated up the rice and it is very hearty when it is enjoyed with some liquid.
Overall, for $488, I think it is quite expected ass it is very big in size and the presentation was just amazing. For $244 each person, it's not bad to have this amount of sashimi as well as Matsuba crab all in one sitting! I would come back again if I want to have some fun time with friends de-shelling the crab as well as enjoying a delicious meal!
