His parents owned a fish shop and a catering business. He grew up cooking and learning the trade since he was a child. After he graduated from high school, he moved to Tokyo, where he worked at the legendary Ginza Sushi-ko. He began working as a dishwasher to eventually gaining his status of a sushi chef.<\/p>\n<p>The serene, 26-seat dining room at this Time Warner Center restaurant may be small, but the flavors\u2014and prices\u2014are formidable. Chef Masa Takayama improvises tasting menus that start at $350 per person. Appetizers often include a luxurious sea urchin and truffle risotto. Next comes a procession of sushi, made with pristine seafood flown in from Japan. A purist, Takayama even refuses to set out chopsticks, serving sushi with lemon-infused finger bowls instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 Columbus Cir, New York City, NY 10019 Tel: (212) 823-9800 Website: masanyc.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-search-our-detailed-new-york-restaurant-database"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=41968"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41968\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41971,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41968\/revisions\/41971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=41968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=41968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=41968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
