Tucked into the basement level of a building in Sonezakishinchi, Kita Ward, 鮨まつ井 is a counter-only sushi restaurant serving Edomae-style omakase. The address places it within Osaka's dense Kita dining district, a short walk from the area's cluster of bars and restaurants.

The restaurant operates in the luxury price tier, consistent with its counter-seating format and Edomae focus, though a specific course price is not listed here. Service runs nightly from 18:00 to 23:00, Monday through Saturday; it is closed on Sundays.

Booking is handled by phone rather than through an online system. No direct phone number is published on this page, so prospective diners should check the restaurant's Tabelog listing for current contact details or inquire through a concierge if booking from abroad. As with many counter-only Edomae sushi spots, seats are limited, so reserving ahead of a planned visit is advisable.

No additional details on the chef, specific dishes, or awards are available at this time.
