Overview
MICHELIN inspectors describe it as a small bolthole tucked away in a lane, its whitewashed facade blending so perfectly with its surroundings that you may even miss it entirely — yet behind it lies a jealously kept secret: exquisite Japanese cuisine. The pristine white interior is elegant and minimalist, in line with the visual charter common to restaurants in Japan. Take a seat at the teppanyaki counter (eight seats only) for a close-up view; a single tasting menu reveals subtle, precise cuisine carefully crafting culinary ties between Japan and France, where seasonings, cooking, carving and cutting all serve the main ingredient, presented as simply and artfully as possible.
