The team behind Shiro’s Sushi, with a nearly 30-year legacy of serving Edomae-style sushi, opened ShoMon Kappo Sushi, a kappo style restaurant offering an inspired multi-course kappo and sushi menu, localized in its ingredients and chef’s expression. The refined Japanese menu at ShoMon will blend tradition and innovation infused with the virtues of Japan’s formal and elegant kappo restaurants. ShoMon will integrate the rich flavor of golden, clear dashi (dried bonito flakes and kelp), the foundation of kappo cuisine, with nigiri sushi and sashimi, meat, and traditional Japanese cooking techniques passed down through the ages in a seasonal, coursed menu.

Had an absolutely amazing time here with a small group of 3 at the bar. I’d say that’s probably the limit for a good experience at the sushi bar if you want to talk to everyone in the group from a single parallel seating.
To start, really enjoyed the sake menu with some truly unique and tasty sake options and the staff were able to help navigate depending on palette and preference. The fish as you would expect were all excellent and all unique. A perfectly sized meal to not overindulge.

We had an amazing experience at ShoMon Kappo Sushi. Chef Masaki brings a lot of creativity and passion and it showed through in the dishes. A lot of styles and flavors we’d never had before. We’ll definitely be back! A new favorite omakase spot in Seattle.

What a lovely place this is. This is my second time dining here. What was most special about my most recent visit, was that the staff recalled our names, and the occasion from the earlier visit. This touch was nice.
Now onto the best part, the food. My dinner tonight was 8 courses. The food and flavors here are something close to magical. Never have I had chutoro that melts in your mouth like it does here.
On some of the pieces of sashimi they put on jelly flakes that has been marinated, as do the sauce level is controlled evenly. On some, zest of citrus is also added.
The atmosphere is very intimate, especially if you sit at the counter. As the chef will tell you about the dish, and even take a selfie with you too.
All and all, this place is incredible. Definitely check it out.

Service: 5/5. The staff makes you feel like family. They are incredibly friendly, and will explain every dish to you. Truly amazing service!
Food: 5/5. The menu is very unique, which I really enjoyed. Although not entirely traditional, they add a really great twist to omakase by providing a good variety of hot dishes, appetizers, and nigiri. The fish is complimented very well by the small additions, rather than having the fish overpowered by adding too much to it. A lot of care and experience is put into their menu and it shows.
Overall I highly recommend this place. The food alone is reason to go, but the service and unique menu really make ShoMon shine. I would put them up there with the best omakase I’ve had across the US.

I have been in many Sushi restaurants but it was in THIS restaurant that I finally understood the meaning and craft of eating and tasting Sushi. Everything was absolutely delicious with a different variety of combination of flavors spot on! All my life I always avoided Wasabi and here I finally understood why is so important while eating Sushi!! Every bite is a delightful experience plus at the same time watching the masterful craft that each chef puts while creating a dish and explaining it, is wonderful!! If you want to have that original exciting experience of Japanese cousin then this is the place for you! By end you can tell that it is not about the quantity but about the quality of flavors and experience.

great food, but expected just a bit more finesse at the price point charged. most courses were executed beautifully. nigiri were fresh and dressed well, and I appreciated that they customized the amount of sushi rice on them for us. dessert course ice cream was a bit icy. for nearly $500 for two, though, I’d want near-perfect execution and a bit more memorable of a menu.

Food:
The omakase experience was beautifully presented and thoughtfully curated. Highlights included the Wagyu with Porcini Mushroom Rice, Bluefin Tuna, and the Dashi Soup with Matsutake and Osmanthus—each dish delicate and refined. The flavors were fresh and balanced, and the Apple and Mo-shio Milk Cream dessert ended the meal on a light note.
Service:
The service was impeccable—attentive, professional, and perfectly timed. The staff explained each course with care and made the entire dining experience smooth and enjoyable.
️ Environment:
The ambiance was calm and elegant, with a minimalist design that let the food shine. Sitting at the counter and watching the chefs work added to the overall charm. It’s a cozy and sophisticated setting for a special night out. ✨

The dining experience was excellent. The server treated us with great hospitality and consistently asked for feedback on each course. They also provided detailed introductions before each dish, explaining how the chef prepared it and the concept behind it. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for high-quality Japanese cuisine.

I really appreciate their creativity with ingredients, everything feels fresh and thoughtfully prepared. I’m especially fond of their soups. This is my second visit, and the biggest surprise for me this time was the sushi. The rice-to-vinegar balance was just right and supreme quality of pearl rice !! Highly recommend giving this place a try!

The restaurant is tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood and features a decent-sized counter seating area (カウンター席).
The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and informative. However, the food didn’t quite meet our expectations. It leaned more toward fusion-style Japanese cuisine rather than traditional flavors. While we did enjoy a few of the dishes, others didn’t quite hit the mark for us in terms of taste.
Because of that, we decided to take one star off our rating.
Overall, it felt more like a one-time experience rather than a place we’d return to regularly.
