    Very great cuts of fish. We enjoyed the otoro and chuturo nigiri. Wagyu nigiri is a must! Overall everything about our dining experience was great. Definitely recommend Izakata Matsuri to anyone who appreciates great sushi.

    I had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy Sushi Ginza Onodera Omakase and it was by far my favorite omakase to date. From the incredible variety of flavor and preparation to the amazing hospitality, this is a one of a kind experience you do not want to pass up. Thank you so much, Chef Yusuke!
