Description

Summary: A low profile setting serves a multi-course tasting of refined dishes with daily market picks

Matsukawa, a discreet invitation-only haven, presents an intimate 22-seat counter where the kitchen hums as the team crafts a ten-course, choice menu using ingredients hand-picked each morning at the markets. Dashi aromas rise, and the plates arrive with exacting theatre—the Taiza crab, steamed abalone and conger eel displayed with care. Cards aren’t accepted, so plan ahead and enjoy the calm, focused rhythm of a meal where restraint and detail align under one roof.
