Matsumi shows the full range of classic Japanese cuisine. The sushi and sashimi are among the best in the city, alongside tempura, shabu shabu, sukiyaki, ramen and seasonal fish dishes such as sardine tempura with salted plum paste. A cuisine of great clarity, precision and impressive craftsmanship.
„For decades, Matsumi has been one of the defining addresses of Japanese gastronomy in Hamburg. Rather than chasing short-lived trends, the restaurant consistently follows the classic canon of Japanese cuisine. Authenticity, precision and uncompromising quality of produce have always mattered more here than any staging.“
Dark wood, shoji room dividers and contemporary art create a calm, Japanese-inflected elegance – entirely without folkloric clichés. Matsumi is a place of concentration, where attention naturally settles on the cooking, the produce and the hospitality.
With your meal, the carefully curated selection of sake is worth exploring – from an easy-drinking companion to a fine premium bottling. Japanese beers and a selection of wines also complement the cooking in a fitting, understated way.
