Nikko, Tochigi, Japan｜Matsushō Sushi

It's a small cozy restaurant run by the owner and his wife. This might be a small restaurant in a town but the quality of the food is almost as good as it gets for a fine sushi restaurant in any big city. The fish he served were all fine cuts, fresh, texture was brilliant and without a doubt some of the best sushi I have had in a long time. The highlight for me was the squid sushi which was so smooth, almost creamy and sang in harmony with the rice. We also had kushiage and Tuna grilled fish which was both prepared by his wife and takes around half hour but it was absolutely worth the wait. Kushiage was perfectly battered, not so oily, crunchy on the outside, fish perfectly cooked and smooth when you bite into it and all the fish used in kushiage was delicious. Tuna grilled fish was so tender, seasoned brilliantly and on point, let the fish be the centre point and that was a delicious grilled fish. 700 yen for each of those dishes was such a good value. This is what makes eating in small towns so good, you come across these gem of a places that is only discoverable as you wander around the different parts of Japan.

It’s very tasty!! And the owner so nice

very nice
