Matsukawa

Matsukawa, once the No. 1 restaurant in Japan by Tabelog. Many customers can only make an appointment once a year. I am lucky enough to know the Japanese intelligence, and I have tried it twice, in July 2018 and May 2019. The original appointment was for March 2020, but due to the epidemic, I couldn't go to the site. So the appointment became January 28, 2021. It's really a standard once-a-year meeting.

This orange dish is a specialty of the store. It is quite expensive and contains a lot of seafood. The fish is very well cooked and has something like fermented black beans on top but it is not very salty. The tofu is also great.

Making a reservation is a difficult task. There are 21 seats in total, 7 seats at the counter and 4 private rooms. The price is high, but much cheaper than the star restaurants in Paris. It's really delicious and impressive.

Royal rice, matsutake mushrooms and pufferfish are the signature dishes of this restaurant. They are indeed delicious and of high quality. The environment and service are first-class.

The restaurant's courtyard was beautiful, the tableware was exquisite, and the eel was delicious.
