 On the other side of the wall from the ten-seat restaurant, Masa, is Bar Masa, a somewhat misleading name. You can actually drink at the bar and they do have signature cocktails, but the principle reason to come to this minimal space is to eat sushi and Japanese food of excellent quality at some remarkably modest prices. The walls are made from chiseled Japanese Oya limestone, the wooden floor is pine and the bar one single piece of exotic polished wood. What distinguishes Bar Masa is that across the menu, each preparation is done with equal finesse---the fried foods are impeccably crisp and greaseless, the superb main ingredients are not smothered over with thick sauces and the sushi and sashimi are velvety and pristine. Some of the best items here are the udon noodle dishes, including a Kobe beef yaki soba. Even the desserts are inventive and simply good.
