Have you already had the chance to taste authentic sushi, prepared by a true sushi master in a sushiya worthy of the best sushi restaurants in Japan? If you feel like going for it and discover the genuine Japanese gastronomy, head to Paris 18^th arrondissement, then!

In upper Montmartre, restaurant Sushi Shunei opened at the instigation of César Mourot and Paul Dupuy. After hundreds of trips to Japan in ten years, the two friends faced reality: they cannot find sushiya in Paris providing them with the same emotions they felt in Tokyo or other cities from the archipelago. As a matter of fact, the Parisian sushi is often based on too sweet rice with a sometime too thick slice of fish.

This is how Sushi Shunei was born. In a minimalistic and clean setting, seated across the sushi master, or at a table with friends – a big difference with the genuine Japanese sushiya – Sushi Shunei is a travel-inducing experience with chef Shunei Kimura living in Paris for 40 years. On the menu, nigiri-sushi made to order by the chef according to fishing and seasons, with brill, seabream, king shrimps, mackerel, and even eel.

To pair with tea, organic wine, or a glass of sake to fully enjoy the experience!
