Masu is a square box made of Hinoki wood. Originally employed as a rice-measuring cup, Sake Bew Masters used Masu to sample the fruits of their labors. Experts have hailed Masu--with its wide mouth and cedar-rich scent--as the perfect vessel for sake. Today, use of the wooden cups is reserved for only the most revered celebrations. The fortunate who partake of the Masu experience are considered blessed with health, happiness and prosperity.

Editorial Review for Masu – by Ivy Manning

In Short
Votive candles lead guests up steep stairs to a slick, urban room decorated with wood paneling, sheer curtains and orange-hued lights. Record industry types sip sake on the low couches in the bar area while romantics dine at tables surrounded by sheer curtains and candlelight. Entrees like the buttery Kobe beef tenderloin in cucumber cups and seared scallops with cilantro curry sauce are masterfully prepared and sushi is vividly fresh.

Anytime I need to take someone out for a special night (usually, my girlfriend), this is one of the places I go. Always great food, immaculate service and great staff. The Lotus is amazing!!!
