Sushi Matsumoto is a sushi-focused restaurant that gives Tokyo, Japan a clear reason to appear on a dining shortlist. The draw is fish quality, rice craft and a tightly paced counter experience; at a polished mid-to-high price point, it should be judged as a polished dinner worth planning ahead for. Michelin selection gives it a credible place in the dining conversation, even without the expectation or formality of a starred meal.
