About this place
Perusing a tiered menu spanning standard, medium, and special selections before choosing a set to match the day's mood is one of the classic pleasures of a neighborhood sushi parlor. Matsuba Sushi, behind its noren curtain in Nakamachi, Meguro, extends this reassuring three-tier system not only to nigiri assortments but also to chirashi and tekka don bowls.
When a deeper taste of tuna is in order, the kitchen offers sets focused on lean akami and fatty toro, alongside a diverse lineup of rolls such as toro maki, himo-kyu maki (clam mantles with cucumber), ana-kyu maki (sea eel with cucumber), and hearty una-futomaki with freshwater eel. Ordering three thin rolls to make up a single portion, perhaps pairing classics like kanpyo maki, cucumber maki, or egg maki, makes for an equally satisfying choice.
The shop accommodates casual midday lunches just as easily as relaxed evening meals accompanied by a beer. Its quiet interior makes solo dining comfortable, while takeout and delivery services provide practical options for regular neighborhood dining.
