"Unique in France, Chakaiseki Akiyoshi is the first restaurant devoted to the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Cha-kaiseki actually refers to the meal that is served with this beverage, while Yuichiro Akiyoshi is the chef’s name. Tucked away behind a suitably low-profile wooden façade, the omakase might include amberjack with ponzu jelly, tempura with grey shrimp bouillon, seabream marinated in a mix of sake, mirin and soy sauce and grilled over charcoal, sushi of mackerel, grilled salmon rice, miso soup with artichoke. Recipes that allow the super-fresh ingredients to sing, prepared in front of the client, assisted by his kimono-clad spouse. Each dish is an exquisite blend of colour and flavour, of visual artistry and zen spirituality. An exclusive, timeless experience in an interior inspired by authentic Japanese teahouses (seats only 16)." - Michelin Inspector
