What is a Matsutake mashroom?


It's a mushroom that is native to North America, specifically the West Coast. It's also known as the pine mushroom, and October is the season. Matsutake mushrooms have special scent, and eating them will make you feel the arrival of Autumn. In Japan the Matsutake mushrooms symbolize fertility and happiness and have health benefits! They are a good source of B vitamins, protein, copper, potassium, zinc and selenium.

Uni(Sea Urchin) sushi $7 at Shiki


​What's the difference between a Green Sea Urchin and ​a Purple Sea Urchin?

​
​For a limited time, we are now offering  Green Sea Urchin which is a very sweet sea urchin that can only be found in the Autumn/winter season.​

As you know, the color of the spines are different. Because it's a small sea urchin and the quantity is small, there are few restaurants that serve it in Seattle. 

​Chef Ken-san takes time to carefully take out the local Green sea urchins.

​Uni sushi is delicious, but the Uni Rice Bowl is also very satisfactory in quantity and the taste. It's currently available for $35. You can even change half the amount to Ikura (salmon roe)!

Who wants to eat Oden in Seattle?

What is Oden?

Oden is a Japanese comfort food for a cold day. This Japanese-style hot pot has assorted fish cakes, daikon, slow cooked beef tendon skewer, konnyaku (yam cakes) and vegetables in a dashi broth. ​

​Oden is a Japanese dish that is considered a winter staple and is often eaten together as a family.

​Where can I get Oden in Seattle?

​If you search for Oden on Yelp, you'll find Shiki. 

There are several places in Seattle where you can eat Oden, but I highly recommend eating here at Shiki because our Japanese chef "Ken-san" knows what true Japanese food tastes like. 

​When you go to a convenience store in Japan in winter, you can buy Oden. Japanese people eat it like a snack. ​Of course, Shiki's oden is a high quality food!

​
​Oden goes well with sake

You can enjoy the sake hot or cold, depending on your preference. 

We also offer sake, which you can enjoy with Oden. 
(Blog about our sake)
​
Generally speaking, a hot dry sake is better for Oden. Warm the sake to 122°F and drink it, and you will enjoy the scent of both oden and sake.

​ Warm it up in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

More Info

Oden is a seasonal food (Autumn/Winter), so please call to order for $19.50! It would be great if a lot of people eat our Oden. Be sure to check out the sake too!
