Introducing Sushi Korin
– A Message to the Celiac Community

So many people come to Japan with one dream: to taste real sushi.

In Tokyo, authentic sushi is everywhere.
But for those living with celiac disease, that dream often ends in quiet disappointmentor even fear.
Because truly safe sushi? It’s still almost impossible to find.

I didn’t always know this.
The first time I tasted gluten-free soy sauce, I was shaken.
It wasn’t soy sauce, it was a hollow imitation that betrayed the heart of what sushi should be.
In that moment, I felt, perhaps for the first time the quiet, daily burden carried by those with celiac disease.

As a sushi chef, I knew I could no longer look away. So I began again.
Not by changing a sauce, but by rethinking every element of our craft from tare to miso to dashi.
With care. With precision. And with respect.

At Sushi Korin, our omakase is fully gluten-free upon request.
Not as a compromise, but as a commitment.
Every dish is prepared separately, every ingredient carefully selected, and our signature gluten-free soy sauce was developed in-house after tasting and rejecting over 20 commercial options.

We are a small, traditional sushi restaurant in Tokyo.
Reservations are essential, so we can prepare for you with the utmost attention and care.

We would be honored to welcome you.

With respect and gratitude,
Masatomo Korin

Review: Hands down, this was the best omakase experience I’ve ever had. The quality and diversity of each plate was truly incredible. The chef and hostess were both wonderful. We loved hearing the stories behind their restaurant. They are also extremely accommodating for dietary restrictions, creating a fully gluten free omakase meal for me. This was such a blessing to experience and it’s worth every penny.

Review: Found Masamatomo Korin through his highly rated Google reviews and wow what an incredible meal we've had. It's a small and very intimate venue but this really adds to the authenticity of the experience. Upon arrival chef Masatomo welcomed us with a great smile and from there it was all the way to heaven with all the omakase delights. While his English might not be perfect, he made sure to explain each serving to us and he took great care of my wife's gluten intolerance, using a different sauce so she could enjoy each course with us. It's clear to see why this restaurant has so many good reviews. The food was fantastic in all the ways and the chef is such a kind hearted and welcoming person. If you're looking for a high end Omakase, look no further. You will not regret your booking. I think it's only a matter of time until he is fully booked for months in advance. I hope to come back again when we are in Japan next time. 素晴らしい料理をありがとう

Review: Had a great night at this wonderful establishment with my wife. They made sure to care for her gluten allergy and showed us an amazing time. The dishes were so tasty and beautiful in presentation. The chef and his wife are wonderful hosts. While they normally close at 11 pm, we did not get out until 1230. Honestly I could have eaten until 2 in the morning. Every bite of every plate just kept me wanting more. We will be back when we return to Tokyo.
