Sushi Shunei

Sushi Shunei offers a rare experience of traditional Japanese sushi-making in a setting that fuses Japanese craftsmanship with Parisian sophistication. The intimate counter is the heart of the restaurant, where each nigiri is placed one by one on custom lacquer trays, designed by artisans in Kanazawa and paired with Kyoto ceramics. The rice is delicately seasoned and served at just the right temperature to showcase pristine cuts of fish sourced from the finest suppliers. Guests can choose from expertly brewed teas, artisanal sake (often cold-infused to highlight umami), or natural wines carefully selected for their harmony with raw fish.

Originally the vision of the late Shunei Kimura – who earned a Michelin star in 2022 – this restaurant is now carried forward with dedication by his wife, Chizuko Kimura, preserving his artistry and spirit. With its origami-inspired wooden panels and tranquil light, Sushi Shunei feels timeless, offering one of the most refined and authentic sushi experiences in Paris.
