Mimatsu Sushi is located on Shokutsu-Gai (food street) in Asakusa.
The restaurant has been featured in the media several times.
While men generally dominate the sushi counter in Japan, this popular restaurant is run by a female chef. Founded in 1959, Mimatsu Sushi has been serving both Edomae and Osaka style sushi. In 2014, the current owner-chef inherited the restaurant from her father and has been preserving the tradition that he pursued for 55 years.
The signature dish is Conger Eel Nigiri that is more meaty and larger than most other restaurants. The restaurant has an established reputation for "Hikari-mono" or shiny fishes which includes kohada (gizzard shad) and saba (marinated mackerel).
Edomae style preparation of Hikari-mono requires intricate skill which is one of the defining points of a master sushi chef.
