Sushi Masashi
Tokyo, Japan
⭐1 Star
The Experience
From Michelin Guide
In pursuit of new heights, the chef relocated to a new setting, riding the waves of change with his love for the sea, fish, and surfing. His appetisers showcase originality and creativity, with tuna sukiyaki as a prime example. For nigiri, however, he remains committed to orthodox techniques, crafting a menu with a carefully measured rhythm. The spotlight is on tuna, presented in a trio of lean, medium, and fatty cuts. Even the vinegared rice is finely tuned to complement the fish’s rich flavours.
