Like his former haunt the Ginza Sushiko in LA acquiring a reservation at Chef Masa’s New York sushi restaurant is akin to getting front row Streisand tickets at the Garden. Decked out in a minimalist style featuring a natural colour scheme and dimmed, warm hues of light the restaurant is devoid of distraction except from a few Floral arrangements and works of art created by the chef himself. With just 26 seats those lucky enough to access the zen-like dining ‘temple’ really feel like they are in for something special, and true to form Masa certainly doesn’t disappoint. Chef Masa takes diners on a seasonal tour of the cuisine as he cooks it delivered, as one would expect of a man who has spent twenty years behind the table, with natural charm, wit and genuine interest that keeps diners silenced between courses. There’s five appetizers preceding the impressive sushi entrée (that features up to 25 different items of seafood flown in directly from Japan) and he even makes time to prepare a desert course for good measure. The whole evening is an education in sushi and seafood haute cuisine and diners leave feeling not only gastronomically satiated but also that they possess a greater understanding and appreciation about what is unarguably one of the world’s top culinary styles.
