Sushi Matsu Omakase isn't your typical sushi spot—it's a 14-seat counter where you sit shoulder-to-shoulder with two chefs and watch them craft each piece with Edomae precision. The omakase experience here is intimate and educational, with chefs explaining their techniques as they work. You'll appreciate the scallop and squid tartare that impressed Michelin inspectors, but be prepared: this is serious sushi, not a casual roll fix.
Authentic Edomae sushi with a master touch
If you're serious about sushi, Sushi Matsu Omakase is where you'll find some of Milan's most authentic Edomae-style preparations. The 14-seat counter creates an intimate atmosphere where you're not just eating—you're watching artisans at work. The scallop and squid tartare with yuzu and soy is a standout, but honestly, every piece shows the kind of meticulous preparation that takes years to master. The lunch menu is more streamlined but still worth the visit if you want to experience this level of craft without committing to the full dinner omakase.
What sets this place apart is the conversation with the chefs. They're not just serving food; they're sharing their philosophy and techniques. It's the kind of experience that makes you appreciate why Edomae sushi has been around for 200 years. The only real downside? Getting a reservation can be tricky, and the price point reflects the premium ingredients and labor involved. But if you're looking for genuine Japanese sushi in Milan, this is it.
