A strip mall in Florence. An unlikely place for a Japanese restaurant with one of the most varied, yet inexpensive, menus around. But that s exactly where you find Matsuya, a Japanese sushi bar and tatami room. Eating here starts with warm, wet towels for washing up. Next comes a lesson, if you need it, about what s what.
Servers are very understanding about diners who don t know their spider roll from yaki soba.
Interesting dessert From there, the choices are many. Every imaginable kind of fresh, cooked, flaked and dried fish. Beef and chicken teriyaki. And an interesting and really good rice dessert stuffed with bean paste. We have to satisfy our Japanese customers.
