Sushi Masataka, formerly known as Sushi Lushan, is a well-known high-end sushi restaurant in Hong Kong, owned by Hong Kong business celebrity Lam Kin-ngok's Lai Sun Restaurant Group.
The head chef of Sushi Masataka is Masataka Fujisawa, who has nearly three decades of experience as a chef. Born in Hokkaido, Masataka Fujisawa began to learn to cook at the age of 15, and has worked in the United States, Singapore and other places, and once worked at the well-known Japanese restaurant "Sushi Ichi" in Singapore. After coming to Hong Kong as the head chef of Sulu Shan, he attracted many local diners with his superb cooking skills and sincerity. After the store was renovated, the name of the store was also named after Masataka Fujisawa, and its popularity has not diminished.
Sushi Masataka, a new restaurant that has been reopened, continues to maintain its standards and carefully selects ingredients. Chef Masataka Fujisawa believes that there is no shortage of high-end sushi restaurants in Hong Kong, and the ingredients in each are carefully selected, and the key to each style is the rice used in the sushi and the vinegar used to flavor it. Sushi Masataka uses rice from Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, which has a strong rice aroma and is just the right viscosity for sushi rice. The rice is boiled using water imported from Japan. The sushi vinegar used is made by the chef, and considering that traditional sushi is accustomed to red vinegar, and foreigners prefer white vinegar, Sushi Masataka's flavored vinegar is made with four red vinegars and two white vinegars. In addition, the chef's original method of adding a little sugar to sushi is a way of eating it in some parts of Osaka, and although it deviates slightly from the tradition of unsweetened sushi, it is also very popular with diners.
Chef Sushi Masataka's innovation in sushi is also his signature three-layer sushi, which is thinly sliced with a tuna belly and stacked on top of the sushi and served with an exclusive homemade soy sauce. The thinly sliced tuna belly not only does not affect the original dense taste, but is more delicate and flavorful, and the taste experience is excellent. In addition, small muscle fish is also one of the favorite fish in high-end sushi restaurants, and it needs to be marinated in vinegar and other pre-treatments before eating. Sushi Masataka's sushi is a set meal, or Omakase style, and in addition to sushi, it is served with snacks, appetizers, soups, desserts, and more. Sushi Masataka is only open in the evenings and is available in two price ranges: HKD2080 and HKD2980. There are only nine counter seats in the restaurant, and reservations are strictly required.
