Sushisho Masa
Tokyo
En un coup d'œil
Avis
This is a truly special experience! So much variety and the staff take the time to explain the provenance of each course and the best way to enjoy it. I learned a lot about fish in Japan and the art of sushi making. There were several regulars in the restaurant when I went, and this created a warm environment. I did notice that some diners were served larger portions but I left absolutely satisfied from the regular courses. On the topic of extra charges raised by other reviewers: I found it clear when the courses switched from included to extra cost, and since I only drank water and tea, I was not charged any extra beyond my reservation price.
An excellent way to taste the full range of seasonal seafood at affordable quality. Over 50+ small bites are served - entirely sashimi, a few grilled items and small-size sushi. Decent CP. Staff speaks good English and describes what is being served with books and photos.
It’s such a good experience with them! Personally not a Omakase person, but this is out of the world. Food is sooooo good! And the price for the number of dish that we had it’s so worthy. I will definitely come back here again!
First - it’s amazing, incredibly welcoming chef and staff, they explain every dish (in english as well) while you’re in one of six table counter seats while you watch them prepare dishes. if you want to treat yourself, book/pay this in advance (we used pocket concierge). i’ll address some things/ bad reviews that scared us;visiting as a western foreigners: 1) nothing alive/moving/etc. they serve you, maybe out of your comfort zone but will still be tasty. 2) don’t smell bad/ perfume. 5 other people in a tiny room who paid 150+ to smell your overbearing perfume/ aftershave. shameful to give 1 star for that after they kick you out. 3) when you arrive, wait outside/in the staircase down. they’ll come get you when they’re ready. 4) we had two soft drinks and 3 small sake pairings for some dishes each (two sips per), paid 3000 afterwards. if you drink a lot of expensive sake, expect the price. was cheap for us. 5) at around 40 pieces they ask you how full you are, we were pretty full at this point where the chef asked us nicely to make space for 5 more dishes he wanted us to try. it wasn’t as confusing with the “they stuff you until you say stop” for us as other people reviewed. just communicate. 6) remember 5 words of japanese and read an etiquette list before, it’s very simple, visibly makes them happy if you try and doesn’t make us foreigners looks so bad. reading some of these other reviews is embarrassing. 7) locals getting more/different things; we ate faster and more than the japanese couple with us, and the order is different due to them eating slower and drinking. the chef kind of vibes the order of dishes, don’t immediately assume you get scammed. pretty sure we ate a good 15 more plates 😂 it seems intimidating for first time foreigners, some of these reviews scared us but they have no basis. thank you for hosting us, it was an incredible evening.
This is indeed a hidden gem as the shop front is not so visible. One could easily missed it if he is not observant. Food is very fresh and top quality. Totally enjoyed how the master brought out the best of all the ingredients he used. Presentation is very nice too. Service is friendly and prompt and the place is clean and tidy, albeit small with only 7 seats.
