IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS.
Every element at SHŌRI has been carefully chosen. Our crockery comes from Kappabashi, our bar echoes Tokyo’s izakayas, and our playlists blend Japanese city pop with smooth jazz. Drinks channel Shibuya’s street culture—Strong Zeros, Chūhais, and more. Even our house tea, Maruyama Sencha from Kyoto, is hand-selected. No detail is overlooked.
Ingredients Matter.
At SHŌRI, quality is everything. Our gyudon is made with premium UK beef from select farms, slow-simmered for deep, rich flavor. We use only the finest sushi rice for perfect texture and balance, complemented by the best ikura roe and fresh unagi. Our onsen egg? Refined through countless experiments. Even our Japanese potato salad has been meticulously crafted for the perfect bite.
But some ingredients deserve the spotlight. Our A5 Wagyu Don—featuring the highest-grade wagyu, rich, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth—is the pinnacle of indulgence. And when the season is right, we serve Chirashi Don, made with only the finest, freshest fish. From timeless staples to rare seasonal specials, every bowl at SHŌRI is crafted to be the best.

ABOUT US
SHŌRI is built on a simple philosophy: focus on one thing and do it exceptionally well. Inspired by Japan’s dedication to craft, we specialize in donburi—deeply satisfying rice bowls that celebrate bold flavors, premium ingredients, and meticulous execution.
Our love for Japan runs deep—from the streets of Tokyo to the quiet corners of Kyoto. It’s in the late-night bowls of gyudon eaten under neon lights, the izakayas packed with warmth and laughter, the records spinning in hidden listening bars. Every detail at SHŌRI is a reflection of that admiration. From the way we prepare our rice to the design of our space, everything is rooted in authenticity, precision, and respect for the craft.
This is more than just food—it’s an experience. A place where every bowl tells a story, where every ingredient has been carefully chosen, and where great music, great drinks, and great company come together.
