Masa Japanese Cuisine

Masa Japanese Cuisine in Frankfurt am Main blends traditional Japanese technique with European ingredients and sensibilities. The kitchen draws on the Japanese approach of subtraction to enhance umami and on European additive techniques to build complex flavours, aiming to marry both philosophies on the plate. Menus are adapted periodically to reflect the kitchen’s evolving approach. The restaurant received a Michelin star in 2022 and was awarded a star for a third consecutive year in 2024. It has also earned local accolades, including first place in categories of the FRANKFURT GEHT AUS journal. The dining room cultivates a refined, atmospheric setting in which music and carefully considered interior space are intended to enhance each meal. Service, omotenashi and a programme that pairs German wine with Japanese sake pursue a deliberate, synergistic dining experience. Cuisine pairs Japanese culinary principles with contemporary European influences and places particular emphasis on the distinct terroir that informs each component. Specialties include a Chef’s Choice Lunch Course, dishes driven by seasonal European ingredients and Take Away (Takeaway offerings).
