Ohmygod, at this rate of me visiting Tokyo at least once every year and definitely having to have a meal at this restaurant, I think I could reach up to Matsukan post 10 :p

Matsukan Azabu post 2

This time is abit more special. Because we went with our friends - Yihan and Enxin. And you know how when you go with elderly people and younger people its a little bit different because when youre young you can afford to be greedier.

And so we ate and ate and ate, we were so full up to our throat !
We had the usual omakase set and requested for a few more sushis, in total we had SEVENTEEN.

Yuba - silky smooth !

One of my favourite in this shop = crab dripped in ?vinegar sauce

 Bonito 

 Giant scallop wrapped with seaweed

OIISHIIIII Chutoro !

To be honest, this  chutoro was sooooo fatty it could definitely pass off as an otoro. I'm pretty sure sushi chains like my favourite one in Adelaide - Genki sushi would just pass this off as an otoro.

 White fish?

 THIS IS SO SPECIAL - Seasoned jellyfish with oba leaf

Imagine if all wedding dinners served this instead of the normal marinated one ahhhhhh

Can i import this for my wedding ?!

 ?white fish

Oh, another of my favourite. RICE WITH UNI !

 #1 IKURA SHIP. will never be able to taste such juicy ikura just bursting with flavours in your mouth!

I'm usually not a fan of anago but this was done so well and its so creamy !

 Small prawns - also very special !

 Za cai 

This concludes the end of the Omakase, the following were what we further requested because we are greedy AF.

 Akagai 

So flavourful and just springy enough to result in satisfaction from chewing 

 GIANT OYSTERS

I had one but Enxin is super greedy one, she slurped THREEEEEEEEE

Aburi Otoro which sorta just peeled off and melted in your mouth! SO GOOD

I keep thinking, why was this otoro aburi-ed instead of eating it raw?

I really cant imagine how awesome this would taste if the chutoro was so heavenly already

 Okay, so my last request for the night was Shirako. Also known as milt, Also known as fish sperm.
I've never had it before, but I've always wanted to try and I thought I'd better try it at a reputable place
I didn't know why the chefs sorta gave me a very incredulous look when I said I wanted to try it hmmmmm
Anyhow, THIS WAS AMAZING. It was creamy it was so flavourful it tasted a little like eggs

I COULD EAT A WHOLE BOWL OF THIS !

TOKYO: Matsukan Azabu post 2

I have previously posted about Matsukan Azabu. And I think I've raved about how its a sushi restaurant I have to visit everytime I'm in Tokyo. In fact, I think I've been there so often ( actually not very la, max 2-3x a year) until the kawaii chef also recognises me and my snorlax balanciaga. hahahaha.

You may read my previous post here

The purpose of this post is just to show you the variety of sushis you may get at this restaurant. As well as you make you hungrier than you already are hahahaha.

 My kawaii chubby chef deserves 2 picture of him at work ! :D

 Kaki - sukidesu yo!

 Ootoro also deserves 2 pictures !

TOKYO: Matsukan Azabu

There are some restaurants whereby you just visit once or twice despite you visiting a place multiple times for reasons such as.. ?expensive ?have already eaten why go again ?can't get booking. However, I don't ever remember a time where I've never paid a visit to this restaurant whenever I'm in Tokyo. 

Matsukan, is a small restaurant hidden in the alleyways of AzabuJuban. It's so hidden ( at least to me, but thats cause I'm a total direction noob. I'm the kind who turns google/apple map left right up down just to get my bearings lol ) if you asked me how to walk from azabujuban station to this restaurant, I would direct you to my trusty GPS :D

3 different prices for the set menu : 8000yen, 10000yen, 12000yen

Menu changes seasonally - this menu was eaten during Winter, will do another blogpost soon for their summer dishes and my favourite chubby chef (head disciple of boss)  who recognises me because of my snorlax plushie on my balenciaga :D However, there was once tho, HE GAVE ME THE WRONG BAG ( Once you enter the restaurant, the chefs will ask for your bag to keep them in the overhead compartment just behind them)

At the end of each set, the chef will always ask if you're full. Most of the time I'm super greedy and I ask for Uni or Toro hehe. After which, because I lack confidence conversing in Japanese , I'll rub my tummy animatedly to express Onaka ga Ippai ( I am full! )   :D

Huge scallops wrapped in seaweed

Uni and crab meat! This is heavenly

guy second from the right is the owner. very very cute owner :D

This was my extra dish ( Toro!)

If cost in an issue, you can check them out during lunch as well ! Lunch price is much cheaper than dinner.
