JIN
Cómo llegar y contactar
Restaurante en París que ofrece cocina japonesa, menús basados en productos y pescados frescos y de calidad.
El chef del restaurante Jin es Taku. Primero por su estatura y por su genio culinario. Este gigante de la cocina japonesa ya tiene cuatro restaurantes en Sapporo. Huelga decir que en París los demás japoneses lo esperan en el momento de la vuelta. Él, seguro de su mano, sólo tiene 12 cubiertos y los clientes pueden vigilar permanentemente el avance de los platos detrás del mostrador de la cocina. Tres menús en los que los productos y los pescados son de gran frescura y de una sorprendente calidad con sazones muy precisos. La sopa miso no tiene nada de caldo estilo agua de vajilla mejorada servida en otro lugar. Está perfumada. El tártaro de dorada, jengibre y huevos de salmón es también poderoso. Los sushi son bastante notables y los de la ostra o del camarón cruda salen de lo normal. La mesa acaba de ser recompensada con una estrella Michelin, y no podemos sino aprobar. A probar sin dudar en el almuerzo para todo enamorado de cocina japonesa.

A small high end sushi ya in the 1st district
The great thing here compared to other one star sushi ya is the service. Strangely, it’s also the negative point. Let me explain. But first let’s give the context and a general review. You’re in a very high end sushi place, the chef does the show and you’re amongst the only 7 persons in paris to enjoy it for this service! Very vip. The ingredients are only the best. The chef is super picky and will remove any defects. He has his secret recipe for the rice, but the sushi holds less than a minute so you have to hurry.
The difference with the other I already posted a review (Sushi B) is mainly the price (double) in exchange for more service (triple!). The waitresses are the perfect representatives of the high end Japanese restaurants. Note that the chef will be the reference for everything (in France for the wine it’s the sommelier for example). I have nothing but praises towards the waitresses that I had. They were extremely nice, diligent and professional. Strangely, I was a bit surprised by the chef second (the chef assistant) who was the most acclimated to the western civilization (he spoke perfect French for instance). I perceived a bit of a French condescending attitude in contrast with the others (also in contrast with other Étoilé where they are careful of not behaving like the stereotypical French waiter in a tourist trap). I perceived it on his answer to one question, where I realized that he had no/few experience of the other Japanese étoilé in Paris, compared to me. So do not pay attention, focus on the food, atmosphere and rely on the waitresses to feel the respect you deserve for the price you pay. Because they really do make you feel special.
Perfect for couples or business.
Does deserve its star based on the quality of the ingredients and the craft of the chef.
My experience: spent a great time watching the chef and enjoying the service
Update 2022: went back 11 months later. We were 8 this time. Some changes in the dishes. But roughly the same at the end of the day. High end, expensive but with high quality and especially with a high staff/client ratio. The staff changed and grew a little bit. I saw at least two new members.
Bottom line, it still does deserve its star.
