What's the price of glory? In the case of Masa, figure $450 per person, plus beverages, an automatic 20 percent house charge and NYC sales tax. You do the math. But, if money's no matter, you must go to Masa. On first glance, the sushi counter appears simple, though not much different than many other around town. On further inspection, the smooth, beautiful counter is made from Masa's favorite wood, hinoki, and all wood, stone and bamboo design elements, selected by architect Richard Bloch, have been specially brought in from Japan---as is most of the seafood at Masa.
