Michelin one-star acquired, Sushi Matsumoto (Akasaka) affiliated store. Located near Tokyo Station Yaesu exit. It brings out the strengths and charms of seasonal ingredients, offering a high-level sushi with refined flavors. The appetizers also showcase the unique personality of the restaurant, leaving a strong impression despite being bite-sized. Moreover, the prices are reasonable and the food was extremely delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Tokyo Station is a 3-minute walk away, and the craftsmanship of the Edo-style sushi shines brightly. The tuna here is unbelievably delicious, with a flavor that is rarely found in Tokyo! Oh, and the bonito? You'll be surprised when you try it. Today, I visited with a gourmet friend, just the two of us. This restaurant, as the name suggests, sources delicious fish from markets in Kyushu and Toyosu. We ordered the "Omakase Nigiri Course, 22 items for 13,000 yen including tax". The dishes included things like duck and junsa, and of course, the seasonal favorite, conger eel. The duck and junsa intertwined beautifully, both flavors harmonizing without overpowering each other. The conger eel was tender and delicious, making you crave for sake. The fatty tuna with soy sauce was perfectly seasoned and delightful. The five appetizers were a joy to eat, each one offering a unique and delicious experience. The sushi was top-notch, with every piece being a delight to the taste buds. The atmosphere was lively, and the service was excellent. The meal was accompanied by a fruity sake that complemented the dishes perfectly. The bluefin tuna was a standout, with a texture that was both tender and chewy. The shrimp was sweet and flavorful, while the abalone had a nice kick from the soy sauce and wasabi. The ikura, kazunoko, kaiware, and tobiko bowl was a burst of flavors and textures that worked harmoniously together. The sea urchin tasting was a heavenly experience, with each type of uni offering a unique and delightful taste. The steamed egg custard, eel, and anago were all exceptional, each one showcasing the chef's skills. The clam miso soup was a comforting end to the meal, and the egg pudding dessert was a sweet and satisfying conclusion. Overall, the summer fish dishes were light and refreshing, allowing us to enjoy more courses than usual. The pacing of the meal was perfect, with a total dining time of about 2 hours. It was a delightful experience that I would highly recommend to any food lover.

A sushi restaurant near Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit. It can be enjoyed casually by couples or groups. Considering the prices, you may need to compromise to some extent. It's a bit disappointing when pre-made dishes from the refrigerator are served. However, the sushi pieces were all delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Well, I had some errands to run in Nihonbashi, so I decided to look for sushi around that area. Lately, it's been hard to find places that offer a la carte options as most places only offer set courses. However, I found a place that offers a set course with a large number of sushi pieces. I figured that if I needed more, I could probably order additional pieces. So, I made a reservation through a website for a 18,000 yen course on a Saturday night. The restaurant had a counter with two sushi chefs and seating for about 5-6 groups in a U-shape. The course started and overall, the sushi was delicious and the pace was good. Uni tasting comparison seems to be a trend nowadays, so my companion wanted to try it. The saltwater uni in the middle was tasty, but the boxed uni on the ends was not as good. The sushi pieces were thick and the variety was nice with some being seared or marinated. However, some of the sushi pieces were a bit too salty. The tamago (egg) was not to my liking as it tasted more like pudding rather than traditional tamago. We ended up ordering about 4 extra pieces as we felt it wasn't enough. The additional pieces we ordered were more high-end and delicious. The first soup course was a winter melon soup which was a bit too light. The simmered belt fish was delicious with a good broth and the fish was refreshing. The chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) had too much sweet corn and didn't really need it on top. The dessert was a lemon jelly which was refreshing. The restaurant only offers set courses but they have a good variety of sushi and allow for additional orders, which is nice. They only serve hot tea for drinks. The price range on Tabelog is listed as 10,000 to 19,000 yen, but if you want to fully enjoy the experience with uni tasting and extra orders, you can easily go over 25,000 yen. If this place was closer, it would become a regular spot for me.

I visited the restaurant that my boss had reserved. It is located just a short walk from Yaesu exit of Tokyo Station and you go down to the basement. The interior is beautiful and sophisticated. We started with a luxurious winter melon stew with crab. The medium fatty tuna was delicious! The sushi rice was gently seasoned with vinegar. Then, we had a selection of five appetizers, each one delicious, including a unique mashed edamame salad. There were two types of pickled ginger to compare - one sharp and one sweet. Next, we enjoyed three light but flavorful dishes - flounder, horse mackerel, and white shrimp. The spring child sea bream was a first for me, with a taste of sea bream but also a hint of fattiness. The small bowl of salmon roe was a luxurious mix of ikura, karasumi, and caviar. It was all delicious! We also tried a trio of sea urchin - purple sea urchin from Miyagi, saltwater sea urchin from Hokkaido, and bafun sea urchin. All were delicious, but the purple sea urchin was my favorite. The steamed egg custard had pure white corn on top, adding a gentle sweetness. We also tried rare items like lean tuna and fatty tuna. The lean tuna melted in the mouth, but the fatty tuna was even more luxurious. We finished with a soup and conger eel dish, seasoned with salt and sauce. Lastly, we had a toro sushi roll. It was a very satisfying and enjoyable meal! Thank you for the feast.

Visited for lunch on Sunday. Couldn't go to the Fukuoka location due to scheduling, so went to the Yaesu branch. Opted for the lunch sushi course. Changed to a comparison of three types of sea urchin. Had Murasaki from Miyagi, Shio from Iwate, and Bafun from Russia. The sushi was quite substantial for a lunch course. The rice was small and soft, with a good melting texture in the mouth. However, the toppings could use a bit more flavor... Perhaps it's because it was a Sunday lunch.

Located a little walk from Yaesu exit of Tokyo Station towards Nihonbashi, it might be a bit hard to find. Despite it being a Friday night, the counter was completely reserved, allowing us to enjoy our meal without worrying about the surroundings. We opted for the chef's choice course with 22 dishes, but each dish was just the right portion size. The Uni tasting set (additional option) and the tuna sashimi were particularly satisfying. The person I brought along was also very pleased with the high level of satisfaction from the dishes. I will definitely visit again.

I had lunch at a restaurant recommended by a mom friend for its good cost performance. The timing was a bit staggered, so we were able to enjoy our meal calmly. Personally, I was very satisfied with the delicious bonito, sea urchin, and sea bass in terms of cost performance. The meal included appetizers like edamame, strained edamame with Japanese dressing, simmered cuttlefish, vinegared mozuku seaweed, medium fatty tuna, enoki mushrooms, scallops, bonito with spring onions, ginger, and onion paste, salmon roe, chawanmushi, three kinds of sea urchin (including saltwater sea urchin and purple sea urchin), red shrimp, salt-grilled sea bass, lean tuna, fatty tuna, tuna tataki, egg, clam soup, and dessert of white wine jelly with mixed berries.

Located about a 3-minute walk from Nihonbashi Station, this sushi restaurant was my first visit. The restaurant is underground, with a beautiful hinoki counter and private rooms. I opted for the chef's choice course for 13,000 yen. - Appetizer: Kamo eggplant and conger eel soup - Toro: American Boston-produced, with just the right amount of fat - Appetizers: 5 varieties including Kyoto komatsuna with Hakata mentaiko sauce, fig with white miso, and more - Pickled ginger: Made with soy sauce and sugar, not too sour - Nigiri sushi: Gold-eyed snapper, white shrimp, Ishigaki clam, sardine, and more - Sake recommendation: Hitoroki, fruity and easy to drink - Small bowl: Salmon roe, cod roe, sea urchin, and flying fish roe - Uni tasting: Murasaki uni from Miyagi, horse dung uni from Nemuro, and more - Sake recommendation: Bakuren, a refreshing dry sake - Chawanmushi: Eel and lily bulb chawanmushi - Kue no engawa: Precious part from Kyushu, with a good texture - Akami: Topped with yuzu pepper instead of wasabi - Otoro: Melts in your mouth - Anago: Comparing salt and sauce options - Toro taku: Crunchy seaweed roll - Clam miso soup: Comforting and flavorful - Tamago: Soft and pudding-like - White wine jelly: Topped with mixed berries, light and refreshing The chef explained each dish and sushi piece with care, and the atmosphere was enjoyable with friendly conversations with the chef. It was a delightful dining experience.

Today, I was invited by a friend to go to a high-end sushi restaurant in Nihonbashi. It was close to Nihonbashi Station on the Ginza Line, so I took the subway to get there. If the Maruzen bookstore is open at the B3 exit, it's easier to walk through the store as there are escalators. On the way back, I walked about 5 minutes from Tokyo Station Yaesu exit. The entrance to the restaurant seemed to have changed, but there were signs to guide us, so we found it easily. It seemed like the entrance was around the back of "Okashi no Machiokashi". The restaurant was located underground, with a counter seat in an L-shape, giving off a calm and clean atmosphere. It was about 70% full at 7:30 pm on a weekday. They specially sourced ingredients from Kyushu, so there were some unique items not commonly found in other sushi restaurants in Tokyo. We ordered the 13,000 yen course, which included appetizers, medium fatty tuna, sea bream, long-tail tuna, shrimp, steamed abalone, salmon roe, and more. We also tried a Uni tasting plate with Murasaki Uni and Bafun Uni, which was delicious. The course also included chawanmushi, red snapper, fatty tuna, conger eel, tamago (like a custard), and dessert with raspberry and strawberry. We also had a beer and 2 cups of sake, totaling about 25,000 yen per person. It was incredibly delicious and satisfying, and I would definitely like to go back again!

I was looking for a nice hidden gem of a restaurant and stumbled upon this place located underground. The interior of the restaurant is bright and spacious with a counter, and they also have private rooms available. It's a calm and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a date or business dinner. I wanted to catch up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while, so I reserved a private room. The food was served at just the right timing, and the staff were attentive and didn't interrupt our conversation. The sushi, especially the chef's choice nigiri, was delicious and each piece was expertly seasoned to enhance the flavor of the ingredients. It was a truly satisfying experience with the fresh sushi and impeccable service. I had a wonderful and relaxing time. I'm looking forward to coming back with my sushi-loving parents for their anniversary next time.

I went to a sushi restaurant located near the Yaesu exit of Tokyo Station. It was a highly anticipated restaurant called Akasaka Sushi Matsumoto, which is the only branch allowed to use the name of the famous Hakata Matsumoto. The restaurant is located underground, and upon opening the door, I found a beautiful counter with 12 seats arranged in a letter "字" shape, as well as private rooms behind the counter. The young sushi chef provided clear explanations and excellent service. In conclusion, I was very satisfied with the taste and cost performance. The sushi was delicious, with creative touches here and there, making the dining experience enjoyable. The menu included appetizers, jun-sai (assorted appetizers), and my favorite items were the fatty tuna, conger eel with plum, and seared golden eye snapper. The uni (sea urchin) tasting set was also a highlight, with purple uni from Miyagi, white uni from Hokkaido, and horse-dung uni from Fukko Bay. The combination of dishes such as squid ink, caviar, and flying fish roe in a small bowl was a luxurious and delicious surprise. The steamed egg custard with new potatoes and conger eel broth was unexpectedly good. The meal ended with a sweet omelette and sparkling jelly dessert. The location of the restaurant was very convenient, with private rooms available, and I would definitely like to visit again.

"Sushi Hakata Matsumoto in Yaesu was a great choice for Father's Day lunch. The staff was very friendly and the sushi was delicious, paired perfectly with amazing Japanese sake. Highly recommend for those who love gourmet food and sushi. #TokyoGourmet #Sushi #Foodie #Lunch #PremiumSushi #Weekend #SushiLovers #Tokyo"

I had dinner at Sushi Hakata Matsumoto Yaezu Store in Nihonbashi. This restaurant opened in September 2022, and it is already popular, especially with groups coming in after 6 pm. It is a branch of Akasaka Sushi Matsumoto, specializing in Edomae sushi. The restaurant has a central L-shaped counter and private rooms, accommodating a total of 30 guests. The menu offers an Omakase sushi course priced at ¥13,000, featuring a variety of dishes including appetizers, 12 pieces of nigiri sushi, chawanmushi, soup, and dessert. The meal started with a clear soup made with clam broth, followed by a colorful appetizer plate with delicacies like simmered tuna, marinated sandfish, squid, limpet, and octopus eggs. The nigiri sushi included medium fatty tuna, conger eel, horse mackerel, bluefin tuna, scallop, salmon roe, firefly squid, sea urchin, lean tuna, fatty tuna, torotaku, and eel. Each piece was beautifully presented and delicious, with standout items like the scallop and sea urchin. The chawanmushi made with mentaiko cream and potatoes was a standout side dish, and the dessert of almond tofu provided a satisfying end to the meal.

I had lunch here while meeting with a friend. The location is convenient, close to Tokyo Station, making it a great spot for meetings when visiting Tokyo. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere and we were seated in a private room. We started with a beautiful three-course appetizer, with the highlight being the exquisitely flavored stewed kue (a high-end fish). The sushi that followed was all delicious, especially the crab meat mixed with crab miso. My friend was very satisfied with the uni (sea urchin) tasting, both the bafun uni and murasaki uni were of high quality. The bonito sashimi with condiments was also delicious. The ikura (salmon roe) mini rice bowl had large, high-quality roe. We also enjoyed a unique chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) made with mentaiko (spicy cod roe) from Hakata, which was creamy and surprisingly delicious. After more sushi, we ended with dessert. Despite the generous portions, the lunch was reasonably priced considering the location and atmosphere. The staff was attentive and thoughtful, making both me and my friend very satisfied. We were able to enjoy a high-quality lunch meeting.

Tokyo sightseeing trip! Day 1! Starting from here! The first stop is a quite luxurious lunch! The appetizers were decent. The chawanmushi with mentaiko and potatoes was an interesting and unique combination! The sushi, especially the fatty tuna, was delicious! Overall, the price was reasonable, but not exceptional. It felt like it was Michelin-approved...!

I made a last-minute reservation for a sushi lunch meeting. I saw the keyword "Michelin" on the food review website and had high expectations, but upon closer inspection, I realized it was just a restaurant supervised by a Michelin-starred chef. The omakase course consisted of 10 pieces for 6000 yen (excluding tax and a 10% service charge), with red vinegar rice, ikura, uni, squid, shrimp, medium fatty tuna, and fatty tuna - all of which were very luxurious and delicious. The atmosphere was lively due to it being lunchtime, and we were seated in a private room, which was suitable for our business meeting but not ideal for enjoying sushi at the counter. It was a bit disappointing that there were no traditional Edo-style toppings like white fish, blue fish, or shellfish. The staff was a bit rough as well. The highlights of the meal were the chawanmushi with fragrant mentaiko cream and the traditional Japanese dessert, which saved the overall experience. Sushi preferences can be quite subjective, so it's difficult to please everyone. Overall, the quality did not quite match the price, and perhaps the 6000 yen course at a restaurant that also offers a 3000 yen lunch course was not the best choice. It might have been a different experience if the sushi had been served piece by piece at the counter. #Sushi #Sushi

I made a reservation for lunch at 12:30 on a weekday and visited a restaurant where the only customers were a couple in a private room. The daily special lunch for 3000 yen was ordered. The first dish served was a small seafood bowl with chewy and rich squid, which was very satisfying. The simmered dish was also elegant and delicious. The following sushi was all made with high-quality ingredients - flounder, scallop, shrimp, tuna, and for dessert, hojicha pudding! Rich and delicious! I will definitely come back again!

I also had sushi for lunch at "Sushilabo" the day before, so it's two days in a row for sushi (lol). This restaurant is a 5-minute walk from Tokyo Station Yaesu exit. It is an affiliated store of "Sushi Matsumoto". The main store is in Akasaka, and there are also branches in Ochanomizu, Nagoya, and Hakata. On this day, I made a reservation in advance for the following: (Lunch) Omakase Nigiri Course for 9,900 yen. My impression of the food is that everything is delicious in a normal way. At this price, it's a passable level. Tuna is great! [Appetizers, Three Small Dishes] - Wasabi Greens - Bamboo Shoots - Firefly Squid [Nigiri Sushi] ・Otoro from Onagawa ・Flounder ・Yellowtail belly (Yellowtail Toro) ・Red Shrimp ・Scallop ・Ikura small bowl ・New potato mentaiko chawanmushi ・Purple sea urchin, horse dung sea urchin ・Striped jack ・Lean tuna with a good acidity ・Otoro ・Toro roll ・Soup (miso soup) ・Dessert [Drinks] ・Draft beer (Jukusen) x 1 ・Barley shochu (Nikka The Malt) x 3 ・Lemon sour x 1 The total bill was 24,420 yen for two people. The cost-performance ratio is normal.

A convenient sushi restaurant located very close to Tokyo Station, Yaesu Exit. They offer a variety of creatively prepared Edomae sushi dishes that are enjoyable. I found the prices reasonable considering the prime location in the heart of Tokyo. They also seem to have a selection of carefully chosen Japanese sake. The only downside might be that the interior lacks a bit of luxury in its decor.

The sushi was very delicious. The lunch was very satisfying and reasonably priced in the 3000 yen range. The underground restaurant had both counter seating and private rooms, allowing for a leisurely dining experience. The nigiri sushi included tuna, fatty tuna, squid, yellowtail, horse mackerel, and scallops, all of which were very delicious. The appetizer and the dish of squid and small fish were also tasty. The dessert was a mille-feuille, which was also delicious. The service at the restaurant was excellent.

Celebratory meal gathering at a sushi restaurant in Yaesu, Tokyo Station, "Sushi Hakata Matsumoto" Yaesu branch. The omakase sushi course (25 items) includes appetizers, sashimi, seasonal dishes, hot dishes, 12 pieces of nigiri sushi, chawanmushi, and dessert. We enjoyed the omakase sushi course at the counter in the basement. It was a pleasant celebration with delicious sushi. Thank you for the meal.
