A venerable Edo-mae sushi restaurant in Kameido established in 1957, dedicated to the authentic craft of traditional Tokyo-style sushi. The owner visits Toyosu Market personally to select the finest tuna each day, with prime fatty toro cuts that melt on the palate being the house signature. Shari rice is made from organically grown Koshihikari from Chiba Prefecture, balanced with aged vinegar to complement each topping without overpowering it. In addition to sushi, the kitchen prepares housemade silken tofu made tableside, along with seasonal Japanese dishes. The restaurant offers counter seats for an intimate omakase experience, private tatami rooms seating up to 18 guests for celebrations and banquets, and delivery and takeaway services.

Nigiri Sushi
Premium Tuna Selection (Tokujō Maguro-zukushi)
The house signature: a curated multi-piece platter celebrating the restaurant's finest tuna — otoro (fatty belly), chutoro (medium fatty), and akami (lean loin) — all sourced personally by the owner at Toyosu Market each morning. The toro melts on the palate. The highlight of any visit.
Premium Nigiri Set (Tokujō)
A chef-selected assortment of the finest available toppings, including top-grade tuna, seasonal white fish, shrimp, sea urchin, and salmon roe. Served on hand-shaped shari rice made from organic Koshihikari from Chiba Prefecture.
Superior Nigiri Set (Jō)
A well-rounded nigiri set featuring premium seasonal toppings: tuna, flounder, amberjack, salmon, sweet shrimp, and egg tamago. A balanced and satisfying choice.
Standard Nigiri Set
A classic nigiri assortment of seasonal fish and shellfish on vinegared rice. The most accessible entry point to the Matsuba Sushi experience.
Tuna Nigiri
Hand-shaped lean tuna (akami) nigiri. The restaurant's most prized topping, sourced from Toyosu Market through a long-standing relationship with a specialist wholesaler.
Medium Fatty Tuna (Chutoro) Nigiri
Nigiri of the prized mid-fatty tuna belly cut. Richer and more marbled than lean akami, with a silky, lingering finish.
Prime Fatty Tuna (Otoro) Nigiri
The pinnacle of the tuna cuts — deeply marbled otoro that dissolves the moment it touches the tongue. Available in limited quantity daily.
Flounder (Hirame) Nigiri
Delicate, clean-tasting white fish nigiri. Flounder is prized in Edo-mae sushi for its subtle sweetness and firm texture.
Squid (Ika) Nigiri
Tender squid lightly scored and draped over shari. Mild in flavour with a pleasant chew.
Shrimp (Ebi) Nigiri
Plump cooked shrimp nigiri, butterflied and gently sweetened. A perennial favourite.
Sea Urchin (Uni) Nigiri
Fresh sea urchin roe on a small sheet of nori atop rice. Rich, briny, and intensely flavoured. Seasonal availability.
Salmon Roe (Ikura) Nigiri
Glistening orange salmon roe served in a nori cup atop vinegared rice. Bursting, savoury, and lightly cured.
Conger Eel (Anago) Nigiri
Braised conger eel glazed with a sweet tare sauce. Softer and more delicate than freshwater eel, with a deeply savoury finish. A classic Edo-mae speciality.
Tamago (Egg) Nigiri
Housemade dashi-sweetened rolled omelette atop rice. A test of the kitchen's skill and a beloved classic.
Rolls & Gunkan
Tuna Roll (Tekka-maki)
A classic thin roll of lean tuna in nori-wrapped vinegared rice. Simple, clean, and timeless.
Cucumber Roll (Kappa-maki)
Crisp cucumber and seasoned rice wrapped in nori. Refreshing and palate-cleansing.
3-Kind Roll Set (No Nori)
A popular option for those who prefer rolls without nori. A popular menu highlight noted by regulars.
Side Dishes & Starters
Chawanmushi (Savoury Egg Custard)
A silky, delicate steamed egg custard infused with dashi, containing shrimp, lily bulb, and mitsuba. One of the most popular dishes at Matsuba Sushi, appearing frequently in reviews.
Freshly Made Silken Tofu
The chef's signature non-sushi dish: silken tofu made tableside from premium soymilk, coagulated with nigari and served immediately. Soft, pure, and subtly sweet — a revelation if you've never had it made fresh. Served with soy sauce and optional toppings.
Clear Soup (Osui-mono)
A refined dashi-based clear broth with seasonal garnishes — clam, wheat gluten, or seasonal vegetables. Light and elegant.
Miso Soup
Traditional miso soup with tofu and wakame seaweed.
Set Courses & Banquet Menus
Banquet Course
Multi-course set menus designed for group gatherings, celebrations, memorials, and business entertainment. Includes sashimi, chawanmushi, seasonal dishes, and a nigiri platter. Private tatami room available for up to 18 guests. Please enquire when booking.

A daytime set combining nigiri or sashimi with soup and a small starter. Represents excellent value compared to à la carte pricing.
Takeaway & Delivery
Sushi Platter Takeaway
A packaged assortment of the day's freshest nigiri and rolls. Available for takeaway and delivery. A wide range of set sizes available — suitable for home celebrations, picnics, or office gatherings.
