Shiro is a unique mix of Japanese and French cuisine. What’s even more unique is the setting. It is housed in a historical mansion that was built in 1929. It has cozy fireplaces and dining rooms on multiple floors that create a level of intimacy. The mansion also has a gorgeous grand stairway. Shiro offers some unusual sushi choices and special dipping sauces that put soy sauce to shame. Some of the choices include: red snapper, BBQ river eel, fried tofu, salmon skin roll, spider roll and a variety of spicy rolls. House specialties include the: super dragon, tiger roll, Hawaiian roll, shiro roll, spicy shrimp and crab roll and the dynasty roll. The sushi prices range from $2-13. A sushi appetizer plate is $10. Though it is a pricy dinner spot, a seat at the sushi bar makes a great lunch date, for either business or casual. Dinner entrees include the: sesame crusted ani tuna, shrimp tempura, filet mignon, breast of Peking duck, and black bean tofu. The meals at Shiro meet the needs of vegetarians, meat-lovers and seafood enthusiasts alike.
