Sushi Matsumoto Kyoto

Sushi Matsumoto sits on Maoyacho in the Shimogyo Ward. The restaurant is steps away from the Shijo-dori thoroughfare and the Higashi Hongan-ji Temple. It holds a Michelin star.

The restaurant serves sushi and seafood in a room that runs smart and elegant. While most sushi counters in this sector of Kyoto lean toward rapid service for shoppers moving through the nearby Nishiki Market, Sushi Matsumoto commits to a slower pace. You choose this table for the stillness it maintains just a block from the city's densest commercial foot traffic. It is a calculated retreat for those who prefer their sushi without the frantic energy of the surrounding market streets.
