Akasaka Sushi Matsumoto

Restaurant Details

Sushi Matsumoto is probably one of the best known names in sushi across Japan. Every major city in Japan has been graced by its presence, with branch restaurants ranging from Fukuoka, to Kobe, to Osaka, and of course Tokyo. No matter where they are, each of these restaurants is invariably known for its excellence in atmosphere, quality, hospitality and craftsmanship.

But all of these restaurants owe their success — and their pedigree — to the original restaurant in Akasaka, where it continues to enjoy the same runaway success as it did when it was first awarded a Michelin star in 2019.

Walking into Sushi Matsumoto instantly overwhelms one with a sense of understated luxury. The decoration is subdued and clean, politely minimalist without being austere. A private room that seats up to four guests is also available for a more private sushi dining experience.

Behind the 8-seat counter of Nara hinoki cypress is where the main magic happens. There, the head chef expertly crafts course after course, each dish making use of fresh seasonal ingredients that put interesting spins on traditional offerings, showing the chef’s mastery of the culinary form through his elaborate menus.

Just a few minutes from Akasaka and Akasaka-mitsuke Stations, Sushi Matsumoto’s popularity is bolstered also by its convenience and ease of access. In the highly competitive battleground of high-end sushi restaurants that is Akasaka, this restaurant continues to proudly hold its own.
