Sushi Masa Kuala Lumpur: Edomae Sushi by Chef Ishibashi | Michelin Recommended

Sushi Masa by Ishibashi

In a calm, intimate dining room on the first floor of Menara Hap Seng 3, Sushi Masa offers an authentic taste of Tokyo's Ginza district. This is an extension of Michelin-starred Chef Masakazu Ishibashi’s vision, bringing a tradition of Edomae-style sushi that dates back over two hundred years to Kuala Lumpur. The restaurant has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that speaks to the precision and integrity of the Japanese cuisine served here.

Chef Ishibashi’s philosophy is rooted in an unyielding attention to detail. The team of artisan chefs works with the freshest, highest-quality ingredients sourced from Japan, respecting the seasons. The experience is built around omakase menus—a meal completely entrusted to the chef—allowing diners to witness the craft up close from the counter. Sushi Masa is less a meal and more a step into the chef’s realm, where every ingredient is handled with care and every detail matters. It is a deliberate, heartfelt approach to sushi that resonates long after the last bite.
