The ultimate matcha spot: Umami matcha café

As the name suggests, this café is the matcha specialist. Whether in the form of hot and cold drinks, ice creams, or pastries, the famous green tea powder is everywhere! On weekends, the brunch even offers matcha croissants! The cherry on top? The matcha shot and hot water, to be enjoyed like a ristretto before heading to work, for 3 euros. And for those who want to take some home, Umami Café has a grocery corner dedicated to artisanal Japanese products, where you won't want to miss a visit.

The Exceptional Touch: Ogata

In this temple of tranquility in the heart of Le Marais, you can enjoy a Japanese brunch like no other in Paris. Inspired by the meals of zen temple monks in Japan, the Asazen brunch takes us on a journey through a variety of small dishes: rice porridge, vegetable bowls (cooked or pickled), miso soup, grilled fish... All, of course, accompanied by traditional Japanese seasonings like seaweed, sesame, and salted plum umegushi. For a sweet touch, we indulge in a wagashi, a finely crafted Japanese pastry filled with beans, nuts, or chili.

The ultimate sushi spot : Kimochi

Tucked away in the Passage des Panoramas, Kimochi is famous for being the origin of the first sushi burger in Paris. But now it is also well-known for its super affordable brunch menu, offering a variety of savory and sweet delights between 10 and 16 euros. Chef Jijy draws inspiration from American brunches and French cuisine, serving up dishes like ultra-fluffy waffles with katsu chicken, tuna or salmon carpaccio, a refreshing Doma salad, berry french toast, cheesecake, homemade tiramisu, and more. These plates are balanced and bursting with flavors, making it a truly delightful brunch experience.

enhanced with superfoods full of good nutrients, like activated charcoal or spirulina.
