Masa Japanese Cuisine

This hotspot for Japanese food is hidden away in an unassuming-looking townhouse in Frankfurt's Ostend neighbourhood. Having recently expanded his skill set and his knowledge of the Japanese culinary arts in both of Yoshizumi Nagaya's Düsseldorf restaurants, Masaru Oae now proposes a set omakase menu featuring excellent sushi and dishes made from top-notch ingredients, such as wonderfully tender Toriyama Wagyu sirloin. There are optional specials with which you can supplement the set menu. The menu sees Japanese classics successfully blended with modern influences, and European touches are also evident. The presentation, too, plays an important role, as demonstrated by the elaborately decorated selection of starters. The diverse selection of sake deserves a mention – the staff will be happy to advise you. In this pleasingly unpretentious atmosphere, the minimalist decor evokes the Far East. The service is polite, professional and always attentive. Top tip: From the seats at the sushi bar, you get a sense of the chefs' surgical precision.
