I often saw incredibly delicious sushi on Instagram, so I finally went to "Namba Sushi Matsumoto" that I had been wanting to visit for a long time ⊂( ･ω･ )⊃ Located in a building along Sennichimae Street, the convenience is outstanding ♬.*ﾟ The main store in Akasaka, Tokyo, has also been selected by Michelin, so I was excited. The restaurant has a counter and semi-private table seats, where you can enjoy sushi leisurely. This time, I had the luxurious omakase nigiri special course.◎ Omakase Nigiri Special Course 17,800 yen・AppetizersChrysanthemum greens with white miso dressing・Youtofu (tofu made from grated yam)・Mackerel simmered in ginger・Duck roast beef・Mushroom soupI really liked the Youtofu made from grated yam and the simple white miso dressing ♡ The mushroom soup was rich and the saltiness of caviar added a nice touch, the mackerel simmered in ginger was also delicious with a light seasoning.・Matsutake mushroom steamed in a potThe hot pot contained conger eel, shrimp, chicken, matsutake mushroom, and chrysanthemum, and when squeezed with sudachi, the gentle broth permeated my body. All my fatigue of the day was healed with just one bite ♬.*ﾟ The ingredients were also large and satisfying.・SashimiThe transparency of the flounder sashimi was amazing! Despite being thinly sliced, I could fully enjoy the flavor. The bluefin tuna disappeared in an instant when I put it in my mouth ♩¨̮ The good fat content made me swoon ♡・Squid roll with sea urchinThis is a specialty here. The combination of the sweetness of the squid and the sea urchin is the best. It looked beautiful and made me smile involuntarily (≖ᴗ≖ )ﾆﾔﾘ・Nigiri sushi (first half)Miyazaki Isshiki sea bream with saltIwate Shimaji with seaweed saltAkashi Sawara with salt steamedAbalone with liver sauceAichi Tairagi shellfishThe Shimaji, which is my favorite, had a thick and fatty flesh and was just amazing! The mackerel had its skin seared, giving a nice smoky flavor. The abalone was aromatic with the liver sauce, and the Tairagi shellfish had a good texture with plenty of shellfish umami.・Eggplant manjuLotus root manju turned into "eggplant manju" with a chewy texture and a thick sweet bean paste. It's a bit sticky but melts smoothly, making it a great interlude during the sushi meal.・Nodoguro and sea urchin rice small bowlWarm rice with melted sea urchin, a small bowl with exquisite uni rice. Topping it with nodoguro is the height of luxury!・Tofu chawanmushiWhen my stomach was starting to feel full, this really gentle chawanmushi appeared. The smooth texture allows you to eat it in one go.・Nigiri sushi (second half)Otoro swordfish with plum saltShrimp with egg yolk vinegarEel white grilled with yuzu saltKobe beef sirloin with yolk vinegarMarbled fatty tuna with pickled radishThe second half had a lineup with a punch. The Otoro had an elegant fat content, the shrimp was really impressive! The grilled white eel disappeared in my mouth in an instant~ It was a delight to have Kobe beef sirloin sushi as the neighboring restaurant is a teppanyaki restaurant of the same group ♡ I was happy to be able to eat meat too ♡・Red miso soup・Chestnut creamFinally, red miso soup, marbled fatty tuna, and dessert with chestnut cream mousse to end. I was already extremely full with an overflowing volume, so I was very satisfied ♬.*ﾟ I wish the last dessert had fruits. Each dish was made with meticulous craftsmanship, and they were not only delicious but also very filling. Despite asking for shari-koma sushi, I was already full to the brim. The volume was amazing, so I was very satisfied with the dishes ( ˶¯꒳¯˵)｡o♡

I went for a lunch course and was very satisfied with the quality and content. The highlight for me was the medium fatty tuna and flounder engawa. The medium fatty tuna had a deep and delicious flavor. The engawa had a crunchy and interesting texture. One of the unique features of the restaurant is the variety of seasoning options available, from traditional plum and sudachi to unique ones like egg yolk vinegar, which was a fun twist. The price of the course was reasonable, so I will definitely be coming back again.

I visited Namba Sushi Matsumoto for a 9000 yen lunch that I had been wanting to try. I was able to make a reservation even on the same day, so the convenience was high. It is located on the 6th floor of a building right next to Namba Walk B15 exit, where there is a thirty-one ice cream shop. They serve traditional Edomae sushi with vinegared rice that has a good balance. The tuna at this time of year had an amazing fat content. The appetizers included red snapper from Ehime, rockfish from Wakayama, horse mackerel from Seto Inland Sea, striped jack with nori soy sauce from Ehime, scallop, salmon roe mini bowl, flounder fin, golden eye snapper from Chiba, fatty tuna from Goto Islands, sweet shrimp, grilled eel with yuzu pepper, tuna belly, and a pudding-type egg. The dessert was a jelly made from Japanese pear, which was exquisite. ◎ = Excellent, 〇 = Delicious, ▲ = Average, △ = So-so, × = Not great.

Squid, sea urchin, Matsukawa flounder, marinated tuna, pickled horse mackerel, abalone, conch, eel, grilled white croaker, uni rice bowl, conger eel and tomato chawanmushi, yellowtail, seaweed, medium fatty tuna, cured mackerel, shrimp with egg yolk vinegar. Each dish had its own unique seasoning, making it a very enjoyable dining experience. We had a delicious dinner time. The entrance to the building was a bit hard to find.

I was summoned and headed to Namba. As a starter, the highest grade dish meant for the person next to me was mistakenly brought to me. Oh no! Just as I was about to react, they realized the mistake. How heartbreaking. The meal consisted of 5 types of dishes, which were reduced to 3 types: sashimi, yuba with mushrooms, and seaweed salad. They were all delicious! The sushi with lemon and salt was chewy and tasty. The seared kamasu fish from Nagasaki, marinated salmon with salmon roe and seaweed, salt-grilled pike conger with tomato chawanmushi, and more were all delightful. The meal ended with an egg sushi roll, a firm egg tofu resembling pudding, and a jaba fish mousse. Thank you for the feast!

I visited for lunch this time ☺️ I was seated at a table and I could feel that the master was very considerate of those around him while making sushi. Despite being busy, he even escorted me to the elevator, thank you very much! The taste was of course great! It was a wonderful restaurant with a great master.

It's delicious, but it's worth the price. It didn't really leave a lasting impression. Also, while it's not the restaurant's fault, the other tenants in the building didn't seem to match the caliber of a sushi restaurant in this price range. Thank you for the meal.

I used it for lunch! The conger eel was fluffy and delicious! I entered at 12 o'clock and left at 1:30 p.m. Sometimes there was a long wait between dishes, so it might be too long for those in a hurry or who want to eat quickly... Perfect for those who want to take their time!

I made a reservation because I wanted to eat something delicious for lunch. The private room was small and felt cramped. The course meal had just the right amount of food. There are few places serving lunch recently, so I would like to visit again if I have the chance.

I had the daytime course for 9000 yen in a private room. The taste was not bad and I appreciated the polite response of the owner when I made the reservation over the phone. In terms of value for money, I am satisfied with the location, but the quality of the part-time staff is... probably won't go again. If I do go, I might choose the counter seat. Part-time staff, please clean the private room. I noticed when setting the table, the chopstick wrapper was left rolled up. We were two men and two women with alcohol, totaling 48,900 yen. No issues here. I was satisfied.

There are a lot of foreigners in Minami, especially on weekends. The crepe and okonomiyaki shops have long lines, making it difficult to find lunch. I called and suddenly decided to go to this place. The lunch time last order is late, which was helpful. I noticed it was a branch of the sushi restaurant I visited in Gotanda. Lunch starts at 4000 to 6000 yen, including a soup and dessert. The sushi selection is the same. The vinegar rice is quite small. The high-end sushi items were missing, which was disappointing. While everything was not bad, it was not particularly satisfying or memorable. It seems like the same as the Gotanda branch. I wonder if I would be satisfied with the 10,000 yen lunch at the main Azabu store. It seems that restaurants with celebrity endorsements often disappoint. I still haven't found an affordable favorite sushi restaurant in Osaka, so I need to keep looking...

I had a business trip to Namba, Osaka from Tokyo over the weekend. I usually don't have time to enjoy delicious food due to work, but this time I had some free time so I went to this restaurant with my colleague. The restaurant is supervised by a Michelin-starred restaurant in Akasaka, Tokyo, so I had high expectations. We ordered the premium course and every dish, from the appetizers to the sashimi, was meticulously prepared with rich flavors of dashi and fresh ingredients. The sushi was also creatively made with fresh toppings, and I was very satisfied. They also served a unique sushi with black wagyu sirloin and sea urchin, which was a delightful combination. They had a great selection of Japanese sake, and my colleague and I had a wonderful time. I would definitely visit this restaurant again during my business trips.

Compared to the very famous restaurants nearby, this place is still easy to make reservations and convenient to access. The staff are young and seem a bit inexperienced, but the head chef frequently takes them aside to explain everything from how to set the tableware to thoughtful gestures. It's very heartwarming and I want to support them.

I'm not good with counters, so I made a reservation for a private room. There was no fee for the private room. This time I had a 4000 yen lunch. Everything was delicious. There were no luxurious ingredients, but everything was seasoned without soy sauce. Next time, I might order something a little more expensive.

I gave sushi as a birthday present to my friend. I was working in Shinsaibashi and looking for a restaurant that would be open around 22:00, but there weren't many options. I made a reservation at Matsumoto-san's place. They told me that the last order would be at 22:00, so it might be a bit rushed, but is that okay with you? The service was good and the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. The sushi we had included squid, sea urchin, sayori (halfbeak), red snapper, flounder, engawa (fluke fin), mackerel, horse mackerel, sea urchin, rice with blackthroat seaperch, codfish, saury, medium fatty tuna, shrimp, steamed conger eel (very fluffy), egg, fatty tuna roll, and my friend added salmon roe and sea urchin. We also had lemon sour, two types of premium sake, and plenty of white wine. It was a satisfying meal.

The reservation started late due to using a private room, but the staff's response was good, and we were able to smoothly finish the meal by signaling with the bell when we were done eating. The sushi was not just delicious, but rather had a unique twist to it. The rice was on the smaller side, and the course composition was good. While the sushi was not outstandingly delicious, it may be due to the lack of freshness or perhaps because we were not seated at the counter. The quality of the egg and dessert was poor, giving off the impression that they were sourced from external suppliers.

It was the 10-piece chef's choice sushi lunch course for 6000 yen. The sushi was amazing and the rice was exceptional. I also want to try the teppanyaki at the next table. They are open every day except for New Year's Day! The chef even saw us off, which was a nice touch. I will definitely come back!

We made a reservation at this sushi restaurant and went there. The thinly sliced flounder sashimi was delicious. I could eat as much as I wanted. The first specialty, squid roll with sea urchin, had additive-free sea urchin wrapped with squid and rice, which was very smooth and tasty. The striped jack with nori soy sauce and tender Japanese halfbeak were delightful. The medium fatty tuna with yuzu and egg soy sauce was a great combination. The shrimp and taro dumpling with crab sauce was hot and rich. Another specialty, blackthroat seaperch small bowl with sea urchin rice, was amazing. The steamed shrimp and scallop with sake lees was something new and delicious. The flounder fin with truffle salt was crunchy and flavorful. The sweet shrimp with egg vinegar was refreshing. The conger eel was fluffy and superb. The egg omelette like pudding was sweet and dessert-like. The red miso soup with nameko mushrooms and the dessert, Matcha mousse, were both satisfying. The recommended Japanese sake was also excellent. The restaurant was bustling with customers, regardless of it being a Monday. It was a delightful dining experience. Thank you for the meal.

Today's sushi adventure took me to "Namba Sushi Matsumoto," a Tokyo Michelin restaurant. Although it's a new establishment that opened last fall, it's part of the same group as the teppanyaki restaurant Sublime. I opted for the chef's choice premium sushi course for 17,800 yen. The sushi, seasoned with red vinegar instead of soy sauce, was addictive. I tried a whiskey I hadn't had before (forgot the name), and it was surprisingly delicious. The steamed abalone was tender and tasty. The sea urchin had no hint of fishiness and was exquisite (as expected from a high-end restaurant). The sea urchin and nodoguro sushi was outstanding. The eel and conger eel were both tender and delicious. I was stuffed by the end of the meal. The cream cheese mousse dessert was a perfect way to finish. Thank you for the feast.

I went there. The lunch omakase course for 9000 yen. Hmm. Should have gone at night! It's worth it! Can do three rounds. The atmosphere is tight with proper Edomae sushi, but the chef speaks in a strong Osaka dialect. Surprisingly friendly and makes you laugh. The small shari with carefully selected toppings. Can eat as much as you want. I'll come back at night next time.
