Matsukawa Dublin – Authentic Omakase Sushi in Smithfield, Michelin Recommended

Matsukawa: A Focused Sushi Experience in Dublin

In the heart of Smithfield, Matsukawa offers a distinctly authentic Japanese dining experience. The restaurant is a testament to precision and tradition, focusing entirely on the art of sushi. There is no a la carte menu; instead, guests are invited to trust the chef with an Omakase Course for dinner—a chef’s selection that changes with the seasons and the day’s freshest ingredients. For lunch, a set menu is offered from Friday to Sunday.

This commitment to a singular, high-quality experience has not gone unnoticed. Matsukawa has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that aligns with the restaurant’s dedication to sourcing the finest ingredients and preparing them with exacting skill. The atmosphere is one of quiet respect for the craft, where the meal is a focused, unhurried event.

Matsukawa is a place for those who appreciate the nuance of authentic Japanese cuisine. The restaurant’s policies reflect this seriousness: all guests begin their course at the same time, and reservations require a deposit. It is an authentic sushi restaurant, and as such, does not offer vegetarian or vegan alternatives. This is a destination for purists, a space where the omakase tradition is honoured completely.
