Sushi Matsumoto is a one-star Michelin restaurant located in the historic district of Gion, Kyoto. It is renowned for its exquisite sushi and traditional Japanese cuisine. Our recent visit to the restaurant was an exceptional dining experience that we will always cherish.

The restaurant is small and intimate with only 8 seats, which allows the chef to offer personalized service to each guest. The décor is simple and elegant, with a traditional Japanese design that creates a serene and calming atmosphere. The minimalist design of the restaurant focuses the attention on the cuisine.

The menu at Sushi Matsumoto offers a variety of sushi, sashimi, and other traditional Japanese dishes made from the freshest ingredients. The chef, Mr. Matsumoto, carefully prepares each dish with precision and skill, using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The result is a delightful combination of flavors and textures that leave a lasting impression.

During our visit, we opted for the omakase course, which is a chef’s choice menu that showcases the best seasonal ingredients. The dishes were presented beautifully and tasted as good as they looked. Each piece of sushi was perfectly seasoned and had a delicate balance of flavors. The sashimi was so fresh it melted in our mouths.

The service at Sushi Matsumoto was impeccable. The chef was attentive and knowledgeable, providing helpful explanations of each dish and its preparation. The chef also took the time to interact with each guest and answer any questions they had.
