Question 1

What is Sushi Masa by Ki-setsu?

Accepted Answer

Sushi Masa by Ki-setsu is an intimate 8-seat Edomae sushi omakase restaurant hidden on the 6th floor of Cuppage Plaza. Chef Masa — a Japanese sushi master with decades of experience — operates solo, crafting every course himself. Ingredients are flown in daily from Tokyo's Toyosu Market. The restaurant serves dinner only (no lunch), with daylight hours dedicated entirely to ingredient preparation and fish curing. The menu is exclusively omakase — no à la carte, no sushi platters, seafood only (no meat or beef).

Question 2

How much does Sushi Masa by Ki-setsu cost?

Accepted Answer

Three omakase menus: Syuugetsu (16+ courses) from S$230++, Sushi Omakase (10-piece nigiri focus) S$238++, Masa Omakase (18+ courses, comprehensive) S$320-328++. All include seasonal appetisers, sashimi, cooked dishes, nigiri sushi, soup, and dessert. All prices subject to service charge and GST. Sake and beverages available separately.

Question 3

Where is Sushi Masa located?

Accepted Answer

Sushi Masa is at 5 Koek Road, #06-03, Cuppage Plaza, Singapore 228796 — on the 6th floor. Cuppage Plaza is a small building near the intersection of Orchard Road and Cuppage Road. The nearest MRT is Somerset (NS23), about 5 minutes walk. The restaurant is deliberately hidden — no street-level signage. Take the lift to 6.

Question 4

Why is there no lunch at Sushi Masa?

Accepted Answer

Chef Masa dedicates the entire daytime to preparing for dinner service. This includes receiving the daily air-flown ingredients from Toyosu Market, slow-curing fish using traditional Edomae techniques, precisely seasoning the sushi rice, and planning the evening's omakase progression. This single-seating philosophy ensures every grain of rice and every slice of fish is at absolute peak quality. It is a conscious choice: quality over volume.

Question 5

Does Sushi Masa serve meat or beef?

Accepted Answer

No. Sushi Masa's menu is exclusively seafood-focused — sushi, sashimi, and cooked seafood dishes. They do not serve meat dishes, beef, chicken, or any non-seafood items. This pure focus on the treasures of the sea is central to Chef Masa's Edomae philosophy.

Question 6

How does Sushi Masa compare to Ginza Sushi Ichi or Shinji by Kanesaka?

Accepted Answer

All three are premium Edomae sushi omakase in Orchard. Ginza Sushi Ichi (Michelin ★, S$130++ lunch) and Shinji by Kanesaka (Michelin ★★ Kanesaka lineage, S$125++ lunch) are established, Michelin-recognized establishments with larger teams and more formal settings. Sushi Masa is a one-man operation with 8 seats, no Michelin recognition (yet), and a more intimate, personal feel. The S$230++ starting price is competitive given the daily Toyosu sourcing and the personal attention of a solo chef. For those who prefer the hidden-gem, counter-only experience over the established-brand route, Sushi Masa is the choice.

Question 7

Do I need a reservation at Sushi Masa?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely essential — only 8 seats, one seating per night. Book well in advance via phone/WhatsApp at +65 9752 5851 or through the website (kisetsu.com.sg). Sunday is available for private bookings. Monday is closed.

Question 8

Is Sushi Masa halal?

Accepted Answer

No, Sushi Masa is not halal-certified. The menu features raw fish, shellfish, and alcohol.
