A big thank you to Chef Masa and the team at Masa for working with us! It was such an amazing experience to be able to learn all about the thought and process that went into this temaki box. I'm keeping that hand-drawn illustration with me forever. The next episode will be airing two weeks from now, what do you think the next takeout will be? 👀 And if you know any interesting takeouts in your city, let us know!

The sushi master's passion for his career is immaculate

[rafaelcorrea]

love how they never talked about Masa being one of the few restaurants in the US that have 3 michelin stars

[lennygith]

The aesthetic of everything in this video is confoundingly stunning. The food, the location, and all involved...then there is me, seated on my bed looking like I got my clothes from a lost and found bin.

[spicychilioill]

my heart melted when I saw him draw for the instructions, its the purest thing😩😩✨

[caikosimanjaya]

Funny how this show is called about to eat (future tense) but the initials stand for the past tense of eating

[malindarayallen]

This isn't just a meal, it's an edible work of art.

[mewrrorball]

the boxes are so expensive yet they just make sense-- you're paying for art and experience. and there are so. many. fishes. i am drooling.

[benholmes]

You can see really see the quality of these videos.... I know he’s behind the camera, but I want to commend Alvin’s cinematography, it’s stunning as always, andaccentuates the beauty of the food and the experience

[meirosesbloom]

Alvin’s videography is AMAZING. I love his style haha. And Inga’s personality is like fresh rain. And the dishes were immaculate and beautiful. You can really see Chef Masa’s love for his creation!! Thank you for such a cool video

[jakeadams]

The way the chef lights up about his food, in the midst of a *pandemic* is very comforting to me. Gives me hope for a better future. It shows that he's clearly passionate about what he does and nothing can get in his way. Seriously. So cool.

[rieskimo]

Chef Masa's diligence and passion is so apparent. He looks like he would be successful at anything he applied humself to.

[paigepeach]

Chef Masa is such a precious soul. You can see the happiness in his eyes when he smiles♥️

[ChaoticSoulx]

Chef Masa is a treasure to mankind, his eyes and smile speak of the love he puts into his art, moving.

[tiredpanda]

Disappointed that we didn't see Alvin tasting it after the "excited Alvin noises".

[ongbak]

The contrast between the deliberate preparation and the informal enjoyment of Inga eating it is delightful! 😂 I hope Chef Masa gets lots of orders!

[Maree_Customs]

Masa is famous and known throughout the world, actually. I had the honor of attending a seminar taught by him

[rebekka]

Inga is just the most precious human being - seing her getting exited over something makes me so happy

[nhatreally]

Me, eating 7 dollar chinese food: ahh yes. culture.

[cvpete]

Imagine having £800 to spend on sushi! What a life.

And Chef Masa is just a pleasure to watch, the reverence he has for his art. Truly beautiful.
