Sushi Matsuura, located in Tokyo’s Shirokane district, is a Michelin-starred Edo-style sushi restaurant led by Chef Osamu Matsuura. Opened in 2019, it quickly gained acclaim for its exceptional quality, intimate eight-seat setting, and accessible pricing. Chef Matsuura, with extensive experience in renowned sushi establishments, meticulously selects and ages seafood from Toyosu Market and pairs it with expertly seasoned rice. The menu offers an array of exceptional dishes, such as the maguro maki (simple and fresh tuna roll), ankimo maki with kampyo (rich monkfish liver with dried gourd strips), shirako (creamy delicacy with chives and onion), and swada (grilled to perfection with a smoky aroma).
The nigiri selection showcases highlights like kawahagi (leatherjacket fish, mild and tender), akami (lean tuna full of umami), otoro (fatty tuna that melts in the mouth), and kuroma ebi (sweet and succulent black tiger prawn). Complemented by curated sake pairings, Sushi Matsuura delivers a refined yet approachable dining experience. With a Tabelog score of 4.04 and recognition in Tabelog’s Top 100 Sushi Tokyo 2022, it remains a must-visit destination for sushi enthusiasts.
