Shiro was an upscale dining establishment located in Ahakista, County Cork, Ireland, known for its Japanese and Sushi offerings. It was recognized with a Michelin star every year from 1996 through 2001 and previously received the Michelin "Red M" distinction for quality cuisine at fair prices from 1988 until 1995. Additionally, the Egon Ronay Guide granted it a one-star rating during 1988 and 1989.
The restaurant maintained a limited menu and was unique in that it functioned without extra staff; the proprietors themselves took on the roles of head chef and server. Guests were welcomed to a single seating per evening within an authentic Irish cottage ambiance.
The late Kei Pilz served as the head chef at Shiro.
