Dressed to impress, Masa Hong Kong debuted in 2021 as one of the more design-conscious omakase restaurants in Hong Kong. Anchored by the city’s longest uncut hinoki wood counter, and ringed by floor-to-ceiling views of the CBD under a handcrafted kumiko wood patterned ceiling, the esteemed chef Masataka Fujisawa and team deliver a procession of fine nigiri sushi to rival the best in town.

The focus here is on dry ageing, with thoughtful preparations enhancing the fishes’ natural umami. Each component is considered: from the rice used to complement the fattiness of the fish, to the specific spring water sourced all the way from Shizuoka on Honshu’s Pacific coast.
