One Star: High quality cooking
Anthony and Fumiko Maubert have temporarily set up shop in the heart of Blois, while awaiting the refurbishment of their establishment on the banks of the Loire. For a long time, Anthony worked alongside Arnaud Donckele (La Vague d'Or), while Fumiko has a twin vocation of nutritionist and pastry chef - her creations stand out for their delicacy and low added sugar. Every morning (“assa” in Japanese), the couple devises the daily menu together, drawing on produce of impeccable quality and numerous Japanese seasonings and ingredients. Sansho berries, wild yuzu, nori seaweed broth, matcha tea and azuki red bean paste are harmoniously combined with ingredients that are painstakingly sourced from local (less than 20 minutes away) producers (among whom Masato Fujisaki, who grows Asian veggies and has been a partner of the restaurant for many a year).
Gastronomy & Sustainability
MICHELIN Green Star
"Our producers, all located within a 20-minute radius of the restaurant, have in common a respect for their land and their animals. We use all the pieces of our animals, which we buy whole, and explain to our customers that we do not sacrifice an animal just for the best pieces. All crates are returned to the producer: we do not throw away any packaging. The minimal food waste from the restaurant is consumed by our hens."
