Sushi Masa, Japanese restaurant in Penjaringan, Indonesia.
Sushi Masa is a Japanese restaurant on the third floor of the Grey Building in the Penjaringan district of Jakarta. It focuses on fresh seafood dishes such as sushi, sashimi, and grilled preparations like mentai salmon.
The restaurant opened next to Muara Baru, one of Jakarta's main fish markets, to source its ingredients directly from local fishermen and traders. That original choice of location has shaped the way the kitchen works ever since.
The restaurant blends Japanese cooking methods with locally caught seafood selected daily from the neighboring market. The preparation follows classical Japanese techniques that the chef adapts to the quality of regional fish available.
Reaching the restaurant means passing through the fish market gate, where a small entry fee is charged. Visiting during the day gives you the best chance of finding the market active and the catch at its freshest.
The dining room sits directly above the stalls of Muara Baru market, which means the fish on the plate can arrive from the boats just minutes before being served. From the windows, you can watch the market below while eating.
