The former head chef of Passage 53 is making headlines again with the upcoming opening of Blanc by Shinichi Sato set for the start of next season.

For the past four years, Shinichi Sato has kept a low profile. Having moved to France in 2000 at the age of 23, this Japanese chef from Hokkaido honed his skills over two years at L'Astrance under the mentorship of Pascal Barbot—a culinary revelation for him—before taking the helm at Passage 53. The restaurant, awarded two stars in the Michelin Guide, bears his signature style, where he rules with a creative carte blanche.

The chef who was recognized as the first Japanese culinary master to receive the coveted two Michelin stars from the French guide is about to open his own restaurant next autumn. Located in the very fashionable 16th arrondissement of Paris, just a few doors down from his former address at L'Astrance, this new venture marks an exciting chapter in his culinary journey.

In partnership with the renowned architecture firm Kengo Kuma and Associates, the 46-year-old chef has meticulously designed this gastronomic restaurant. Every element has been thoughtfully crafted, from the menu and ambient music to the tableware, reflecting his dedication to creating an exceptional dining experience.

Shinichi Sato is eager to make a splash again with his new restaurant, but fans will have to wait a little longer. The opening is set for the fall!
