"You’ll be transported … lớn an ethereal realm where chef Masa creates one of the premier dining experiences in the world." —Travel + Leisure Magazine
Masa is shibui:
Refined beauty that isn’t affected by time or social changes. Shibui is never complicated or contrived.Purity of being, of living, of sensing is inherent in all elements of the Masa experience.
The sushi counter made of a solid piece of Hinoki is sanded daily khổng lồ a soft, porous state providing both visual & sensual satisfaction the moment one enters. The branches of seasonal plants are arranged daily to highlight the beautiful imperfections mother nature produces, offering a quality perspective from all angles.
The otherwise simple décor is intentionally sparse to act as a blank canvas on which the food will be allotted space to shine. The courses build on seasonal properties utilized only in their freshest most delicious state. Each dish is composed to ensure that the most basic, innate character of the ingredients persists.
A fundamental respect of the distinctiveness, which is naturally occurring, is observed with each act of slicing, shaving, và sprinkling. The food is prepared quickly, & plated for guests as soon as ready to preserve sầu the idea that each dish is still in a living, being state. In essence, with essence, is essence–Masa is shibui.
