Okuda

The finest Japanese cuisine in Paris !
We ate in a private room, the service was excellent, really available.
We drunk for the first time a white Japanese wine, good enough to compete with A good French or Californian one and with their famous sake.
Light but nourishing and full of flavors cuisine ! Worst the trip

My favorite fine dining Japanese in Paris! Okuda is only Michelin starred Japanese restaurant in Paris.
Amazing amazing creative food! Definite hint of French twist in this traditional Japanese. They have datchi and table sitting. Good tea selection. One waitress is trained in dado (art of tea ceremony) so she makes is enjoyable to watch.
Ingredients are amazing and many are locally sourced.
I expect two stars coming it’s way!

First, you should know that Okuda actually consists of two separate restaurants; one that is a small pure prix fixe omakase style sushi restaurant that will accommodate no more than eight people at any time and the other a restaurant right next door, also prix fixe serving a menu consisting of other Japanese fare such as Wagyu beef and other cooked items. Second, they have two sittings — 6:00 and 9:00 PM. Third, they are not inexpensive — E 155.00 per person for sushi and E198 for the other restaurant, excluding drinks. Lunches are sightly less. We chose the sushi restaurant for dinner
The meal consisted of amuse bouches, appetizers, 10 sushi pieces, grillades, miso soup, a fruit dessert and tea. We also had an amazing Junmai sake to go with the meal. Tetsuyasu Kobayashi who was the sushi chef that evening was masterful and charming as the host and it was a pleasure to watch how he made the sushi and a delight to eat each piece. They were delicate and elegant and the flavoring with freshly ground real wasabi, not the usual Play-​doh glob of green paste that clears your sinuses and a delicate brushing of each piece with a mixture of soy, mirin and yuzu. We have not experienced this at any of the sushi restaurants we’ve eaten at all over the US and elsewhere. The ambience that is calm and the décor essentially Japanese along with the attentive but not intrusive service as well as the great meal, made this a really memorable experience. Bottom line, you do not have to fly to Tokyo to eat fine sushi at Giro’s — unless you really need to have something to brag about, Okuda is first rate and worth the expense for the experience.

Recently opened in Paris, this Japanese restaurant totally blew our minds.
Service is simply «extraordinaire», so friendly, discrete and efficient.
We made a reservation a few days before Christmas and asked to be seated at the counter, as it is the tradition in Japan.
The waitresses wear kimonos, and the entire staff is from Japan. Add the peaceful interior, we felt being transported to the country of the Rising Sun.
The 7-​course menu changes very frequently and features the best of the kaiseki cuisine.
Highlight of the night was the ‘wagyu beef’ with miso, cooked on a magnolia leaf in front of you.
Also, the apple-​themed dessert was excellent and offered 4 different ways of cooking the fruit.
They have slightly decreased their prices for dinner, and it is definitely worth the splurge.
