Japanese cuisine is much more than just raw fish and fried dumplings. We, on the other hand, have fallen in love with takoyaki, these little fritters filled with pieces of octopus, cooked like waffles. This specialty comes straight from the streets of Osaka and has made its way into some of our favorite spots in Paris. 


Moemachi

A new Japanese shop with a hyper kawaii decor has recently opened its doors in the Sentier neighborhood. At Moemachi, our favorite manga characters come together and Japanese street food flows onto the small wooden tables. It's the perfect opportunity to sit down and eat the famous takoyaki made with precision and topped with our choice of sauce. But also inari (fried sushi), ramen, taiyaki (a popular fish-shaped cake in Japan), and cherry blossom or matcha mochis.

Happatei

The temple of Japanese street food on Sainte-Anne Street? It's Happatei, of course. But we warn you, if you don't like fried food, look elsewhere! Takoyaki, okonomiyaki (Japanese savory pancake), yakisoba... With an open kitchen at the heart of the restaurant, we watch everything being prepared right in front of us, and we eat it on the go. We accompany it all with a ramune (Japanese lemonade) and the game is on.

Muto Donburi

Specializing in donburi, this cute little Japanese canteen on Rue Blanche also offers bowls of heavenly udon noodles. You'll find all the creamy happiness of carbonara spaghetti, but with a Japanese twist, with shiitake, shimeji, and Paris mushrooms. And in between bites of udon noodles, don't hesitate to bite into one of their delicious takoyaki!
