Key Information

Sushi Matsumoto is a Michelin-starred sushi restaurant renowned for its traditional Edomae sushi and omakase courses. Originating in Akasaka, it has established a new location in Shibuya, offering high-quality, fresh fish and an engaging dining experience with attentive chefs.

Customer Perception

Customer feedback is largely positive, praising the fresh and flavorful fish, particularly uni and nigiri, and the friendly, communicative staff, including a 'lady chef' who explains dishes in English. Many describe the omakase as an amazing experience. However, some customers feel the price point (¥11,000 - ¥16,000 for omakase) does not always align with the perceived quality of ingredients or the ambiance, which some found too brightly lit for a premium setting. A lunch nigiri set at ¥5,000 is also available.

Additional Details

Sushi Matsumoto in Shibuya is a newer branch of the original Michelin-starred restaurant in Akasaka, which earned one Michelin star in the Tokyo Guide for 2019 and 2020. The Shibuya location offers a lunch Nigiri set for approximately 5,000 yen and omakase courses ranging from 11,000 to 16,000 yen.

Even though our Japanese was not very good, the staff was warm, friendly and engaging. This was our first omakase experience in Japan and we couldn’t have been happier. Our only disappointment is that we will not be able to become regular customers here because we live in the US. ごちそうさまでした!

The Michelin-starred Akasaka restaurant “Sushi Matsumoto,” awarded one star for two consecutive years, has opened a new location in Shibuya. ＊lunch Nigiri set 5,000 yen The salmon roe and crab side dishes were good, dessert is also included. There weren’t many sushi toppings that matched my taste, so my impression was that it was just okay. The atmosphere was good!

The most delicious nigiri I've ever eaten! All the fish is fresh! And of a very, very high standard! The side dishes were amazing! The miso soup was perfect and so was the dessert at the end! And most importantly, the chef was lovely! He explained patiently, was funny and kind! A perfect place in every way! Highly recommend!

I don't ever post but I read a lot of the reviews below and a lot of them are haters so felt like I had to balance them out. TL; DR: amazing experience. The lady chef was attentive and kept asking if the wasabi levels were okay; it makes a huge difference when she tried her best in English to explain the menu and we were able to communicate well enough. Fish was fresh and flavourful especially the uni. Would come again. Every bite was interesting and tasty.

This is a very average omakase. If you’ve never had omakase before and only experienced regular sushi, you’d probably think this is decent to good — and at around ¥3,000 it would be a nice meal. But at ¥11,000, it simply doesn’t deliver on what an omakase experience should be. They’re aiming for a premium omakase concept, but if that’s the goal, they need to significantly elevate the quality of the ingredients. Otherwise, they should lower the price to match what they are actually offering. To be clear, nothing here was bad. The staff are very friendly and the food is decent — just not at the level that justifies the price point. Also, the lighting is quite bright and the atmosphere doesn’t feel like a premium omakase setting. A more thoughtful ambiance would go a long way. In short: pleasant meal, great staff, but not a true omakase experience at ¥11,000. Either raise the quality or lower the price, feels like they are trying to make maximum profit
