Background
About Masa Naomi
The Story
Masa Naomi opened in 1974, and Madrid's official tourism site describes it as the oldest Japanese restaurant in the city. It's run by a family and cooks traditional, home-style Japanese food, and it has kept the format of a small Tokyo eating house, with a sushi bar and tatami seating, through five decades.
The Cuisine
Traditional Japanese home cooking: yakitori and grilled chicken skin, tempura, aubergine dengaku, miso soup and chazuke, udon and soba hot or cold, curry rice, donburi such as unagidon, katsudon and tendon, and sashimi and nigiri up to O-toro.
The Carta
The numbered carta starts with izakaya plates: yakitori (€6.40), torikawa chicken skin, squid tempura, mixed or prawn tempura, nasu dengaku, ohitashi, asparagus with miso, agedashi tofu, wakame salad, takuan pickles, natto with squid or tuna, and motsuni offal stew. Noodles include tanuki udon and soba and cold zaru udon and soba (€10.90 each) plus soba curry. Rice dishes run from hamachidon and unagidon (€19.90) to katsudon, tendon, teriyaki, curry rice and katsu curry. The raw fish is sold as sashimi, from salmon (€11.80) and an assortment (€19.90) to O-toro tuna belly (€29.95), or as nigiri by the piece, maki, temaki and chirashi-style bowls such as oyakodon and tekkadon.
Drinks
Asahi and Kirin are €4.30, and sake comes in small jugs, hot or at room temperature. The short wine list covers a house Crianza, Luis Cañas Rioja, Ribera del Duero from Emilio Moro and Pago de Carraovejas, and whites from Rueda, Albariño and Godello.

Masa Naomi Dining Experience
A small, modest room styled on Tokyo's casas de comidas: a sushi bar, sliding doors in pale wood, Western-style tables, and low tables where you sit on the tatami in the traditional way. The plates and bowls are the house's own ceramics.
