The whitewashed facade of this small bolthole tucked away in a lane blends in so perfectly with its surroundings that you may even miss it entirely! Behind its spruce façade lies a jealously kept secret, namely exquisite Japanese cuisine. The pristine white interior is both elegant and minimalist, in line with the visual charter commonly associated with restaurants in Japan. Take a seat either at the counter (nine seats only) for a close-up view of the teppanyaki griddles or in the small soberly appointed private dining room with its tatami. As you sample a single tasting menu, you will discover subtle, precise cuisine that carefully crafts culinary ties between Japan and France. The seasonings, cooking, carving, cutting, slicing and chopping are all at the service of the main ingredient, which is presented as simply and as artfully as possible. Sashimi, Brittany lobster, chateaubriand steak or sweetbread, cooked on the teppanyaki griddle, and served with fine Burgundy wines, painstakingly selected by the chef. Dutiful, professional service.
