Mr. Moto has quietly widened its secretive sushi universe with The Parcels of Mr. Moto, a chef-driven delivery spin-off now serving Brooklyn. The new project packs nigiri, maki and chirashi don into gift-style boxes designed to travel while still honoring traditional edomae techniques. Each box lands with a hidden riddle tucked inside, which can unlock discounts or prizes at the group’s dining rooms. The service runs in the evenings, targeting diners who want omakase-quality fish without leaving the couch.
Chef Tomotsugo "Tomo" Kubo says the goal is to make classic edomae sushi feel less out of reach, with rotating selections that spotlight bluefin tuna (akami and toro), sea bream (madai), golden eye snapper (kinmedai), Hokkaido scallops (hotate) and gizzard shad (kohada). The parcels lean on careful curing and precise knife work so each piece survives the trip intact. As amNewYork reported, the boxes are meant to bridge the delivery world and the in-person Mr. Moto counter experience.
How Parcels Work
The Parcels of Mr. Moto treats each order like a personal present, with custom wrapping and a little "himitsu" note tucked inside that can reveal prizes for diners willing to play along. According to the Parcels of Mr. Moto website, fish are sourced from Toyosu and every box is assembled inside Mr. Moto’s kitchens before heading out for neighborhood delivery. The site also lays out delivery hours and which Brooklyn areas are currently covered, and notes that Manhattan delivery is on the way.
What To Order
First-timers can ease in with the Mr. Moto Sushi Set, a chef’s choice of six to ten pieces of nigiri plus a roll, while chirashi bowls and build-your-own rolls skew a bit more casual. The Brooklyn ordering page prices the sushi set at about $39 on Toast, and Time Out highlighted the parcels’ effort to keep omakase craft intact for at-home dining.
Orders can be placed directly through the Parcels site or via delivery platforms. Brooklyn offerings currently appear on DoorDash along with other apps, and the Parcels site lists nightly delivery from 5:30 to 9:10 p.m., seven days a week.
For Brooklyn sushi fans, The Parcels of Mr. Moto creates a new lane to sample edomae technique without navigating waitlists or counter times. Whether the hidden-note scavenger vibe ultimately nudges more people toward a full dining-room reservation is still an open question, but in the meantime, it makes counter-level sushi a lot easier to unwrap at home.
