For a restaurant that requires decoding emails, memorizing passcodes and believing (briefly) in a fictional 19th-century gourmand, delivery feels almost suspiciously straightforward. But yet: the team behind The Office of Mr. Moto and The Residence of Mr. Moto is officially entering your apartment.
Launching next Monday, February 9, The Parcels of Mr. Moto is a delivery-only concept that translates the group’s cultish, story-driven edomae sushi into curated boxes meant for at-home eating. There’s no secret keypad required: all you need is an appetite and a Brooklyn address (for now).
At the center is chef Tomotsugo “Tomo” Kubo, the co-founder and chef-owner whose omakase counters have become some of the city’s hardest reservations to snag. Parcels keeps the focus where it belongs: pristine seafood, careful knife work and traditional edomae technique, but in formats that travel. There will be rotating selections of nigiri, maki rolls, chirashi don and sushi sets designed to be shared—think elevated dinner party spread.
The menu spans everything from streamlined sushi sets (six to 10 pieces of chef’s choice nigiri, along with a roll) to more indulgent chirashi bowls topped with bluefin tuna, toro, Hokkaido scallops, ikura and uni. There are also unfussy build-your-own roll options using negitoro, spicy scallop or classic tekka.
That said, the theatrics aren’t gone entirely. Each order arrives as if it were a personal gift from Mr. Moto himself, wrapped in bespoke packaging inspired by the character’s fictional travels and collected artifacts. Tucked inside is a hidden riddle; once you solve it, you’ll unlock an exclusive discount to one of the group’s physical dining rooms. It’s lore as loyalty program and a thoughtful bridge between delivery and destination dining.
The goal, according to the team, is accessibility instead of dilution. Traditional edomae sushi often lives behind high price points and stiff, hushed counters, but Parcels reframes it as something you can enjoy at home without sacrificing craft or quality, while still encouraging curious diners to try the complete, immersive experience when they’re ready.
For now, The Parcels of Mr. Moto delivers across Brooklyn nightly from 5:30 to 9:10pm, seven days a week. Manhattan delivery is slated for this spring.
