I hope some Japanese friends could answer this nagging question I had for several months. I've Googled but there are different definition, and none is consistent with the barachirashi and chirashi I've been seeing. But the Internet does agree that in Japanese culture, bara means gay. Indeed, bara chirashi is gay - cheerful and colourful due to its play on colours.

Dstllry's barachirashi has three types of fishes - salmon, maguro and hamachi. I like that it is slightly lighter in its use of the "secret" seasoning, which I think contains mirin, dashi and shoyu. I'm not a fan of Teppei during the times when they're heavy handed with their sauces (Teppei tend to be inconsistent, depending on how much seasoning they squeeze away from the marinated fishes just before serving).

The staff looked grumpy though. The restaurant's industrial theme is cold, though hip, and the black walls are gloomy, though chic. When the hardware lacks warmth, the software could do with a little smile.
