To celebrate an incredible 11 years in business, Masu is taking diners on a gastronomic journey with their Greatest Hits menu — an artfully curated tasting experience that captures the essence of Masu’s kitchen. Designed for two or more to share, the menu spotlights signature favourites from 2013 to 2024, blending timeless classics with standout modern creations.
Expect bold, balanced, and beautifully composed dishes that have defined Masu’s culinary identity — from Kaikoura crayfish tartlets with spicy miso and ginger gel, to the famed charred toro tuna nigiri with crispy leek and kombu soy (affectionately dubbed the “umami bomb”), and Glacier 51 toothfish, still a house favourite after more than a decade.
From buttery red prawn tempura and black origin wagyu gyoza to flame-grilled seasonal vegetables with almond miso and the indulgent and beautifully-presented Masu dessert platter, this is a celebration of the flavours that shaped Auckland’s modern Japanese dining scene.
If you choose to elevate the experience further, each course can be paired with a meticulously chosen sake or wine match, including collaborations like the Masu x Zenkuro muroka nama genshu and crisp pours from Giesen, Kumeu River, and Te Kano.
Rich in nostalgia, elevated in execution — Masu’s Greatest Hits is the ultimate way to toast 11 unforgettable years of contemporary robata dining.
