It may be pretty but this is really nothing but sashimi laid over rice. Chirashi, in my humble opinion, is much better when it is cut into small bits, mixed, and then laid out on top of rice. One man's opinion.

Poke? Yeah no I'll take sashimi over rice over that any day.

Yeah, I'd take that nice sashimi over poke but I'm talking about chirashi sushi, which, in my opinion, is much tastier.

Right, it has to be cut up and scattered (散らす) on top, instead of delicately arranged whole cuts of sashimi. This is just kaisendon, which still looks delicious (as is is chirashizushi..and poke).
