Masuya, Sydney CBD
Light Dinner at Masuya
Having strolled around the city after work we were a little peckish and decided to go to the Japanese restaurant designed for white collar workers. Located on O'Connell St., Masuya is situated down a flight of stairs and is nicely decorated with a classy ambiance. When we arrived, there were no tables free as reservations are usually required (being a Friday night). However, there was still room at the sushi bar so we snapped up those spots asap! Although there isn't much room at the sushi bar and not being able to order hotpot, there is the bonus of being able to watch the sushi chefs do their work.
We started with a Tsunami which is like an Japanese alcoholic lemonade mix, and a mango mocktail- both very nice.

Mango MocktailAs we were only peckish and not starving we opted to have a selection of sushi from the sushi bar and also the sample selection platter for the day which had Grilled Scampi, smoked trout, Oyster with vinaigrette dressing, soft shell crab, duck breast with plum sauce as well as two other fishy items that I couldn't quite hear what they were from the waitress. Standouts from that selection would have been the duck breast and the Scampi.
Selection platterOur sushi selection was the standard with the likes of Sea Urchin and Scampi but also Mackeral which is really fishy and seared scallops. Sushi was prepared beautifully and fresh.
Sushi SelectionLast dish for the night to fill our protein quote for the meal was Wagyu beef with ginger and mash. It's hard to go wrong with Wagyu- especially at a place like Masuya :P
