Very trendy Japanese restaurant more inspire by fusion than tradition. Fresh food, great service but you’re going there more for the atmosphere. Also very expensive.

Delicious and inspired modern Japanese food. Ambience is chill and jazzy music sets the mood to relax. A pleasant surprise in Paris. Note: don’t expect this to be a cheap meal. Around 70 euros to start at least.
