"Sushi lovers will delight in this softbound sensation, filled with artwork and ephemera that traces Shiro-san's footsteps from his native Kyoto to Tokyo's Ginza district to Seattle's International District and beyond."

—Nancy Leson, The Seattle Times

"Shiro is engrossing and thoughtful—plenty of pleas for more sustainable seafood practices—and paints a striking picture of the development of Seattle’s sushi culture. The friendly tips from the chef, along with his own personal ephemera, make it a personal and personable read, much like the venerable master himself."

"(Kashiba's) appreciation of local sea life―and his serious concern for its survival―permeates the book, which itself is awash in gorgeous illustrations, vintage photos, and recipes and tips from the sushi master. Forty-five years after landing in Seattle, now boasting legions of regular customers (including Bill and Melinda Gates, Ichiro Suzuki and Gerard Schwarz), Shiro tells readers how he got here. It's a lovely immigrant song."
