About this place
The freshness of seafood brought in directly from the market each morning forms the foundation of Rakusai Matsusho's menu. Meticulously sliced, the assorted sashimi platter showcases both the natural flavor of the fish and the kitchen's careful knife work, making it a natural first order for many guests.
Alongside the raw fish, the menu features an array of comforting, well-crafted staples. Fluffy dashi rolled omelets, tender house-made roast duck, lightly seared wagyu tataki, and crisp tempura platters serve equally well as drink accompaniments or the center of a meal, all at sensible prices. The drinks list complements the food with beer, chuhai, shochu, and renowned sake labels such as Hakkaisan, Kubota, and Setchubai.
For evening gatherings, hot pot courses like Matsusho chanko, pork shabu-shabu, and yosenabe offer an unhurried communal meal around the table. Set in Oeda Higashinagacho in Kyoto's Nishikyo Ward, Rakusai Matsusho welcomes guests with warm hospitality, whether stopping by for a midday set lunch or settling in for a relaxed evening meal.
