At New York's sushi temple, Masa, the glistening slices of o-toro, sea bream, and scallop are a ticket straight to Nirvana. The serene, 26-seat dining room at this Time Warner Center restaurant may be small, but the flavors—and prices—are formidable. Chef Masa Takayama might fashion a 25 course tasting menu over three hours, from lobster and foie gras shabu-shabu to classical sushi starring exotic seafood shipped daily from Japan.
