Kyoto, Japan｜Sushi Ishimatsu

The sushi chef practiced at the GINZA KYUBEI. It is a famous sushi restraunt in JAPAN and WORLD WIDE. You can eat the authentic sushi at affordable price in KYOTO. The sushi chef is polite about his work. Sushi's ingredients are all fresh. If you come to KYOTO and want to eat the authentic sushi, you should go there.

The couple who run this gem are absolutely lovely. The quality of the fish is outstanding. I loved the attentive little details of excellence, such as the generous portion of freshly grated wasabi and the creamy delicious matcha. I was wearing a white t-shirt and the chef suggested that I use the ginger to paint the nigiri with soy sauce (instead of turning the nigiri upside down and dipping the fish in the soy sauce, which could potentially splash). The hours of operation are easy to misunderstand. I think they are open for dinner most nights but only open for lunch on Fridays or something like that. I would sleep on their doorstep if I could!

The raw material quality is absolutely the best. The chef is friendly and polite. Recommended👍🏻!
