UDON and SAUCES
from KUNITORAYA PARIS 棒うどんソース国虎屋
Considered the emperor of the Japanese quarter of Paris, Masafumi Nomoto from Kōchi in Japan is busy producing the most perfect udon noodles in the city in an artisanal and manual way with a most pleasant "koshi" elasticity. Through its 3 KUNITORAYA brands, one in Kōchi in Japan and two in Paris, it is not surprising that his restaurants are considered among the best authentic Japanese restaurants in the Capital.
In addition to his passion for photography and jazz, Nomoto san shows an impressive creativity and ingenuity in the design of his restaurants: he makes us travel from Aki in Kōchi, Japan with a traditional Udon-Ya to a second one located at 1 rue Villedo in Paris, looking like a New York bistro in Soho, and ending up at number 5 on the same street in the Roaring Twenties of the turn of the century with its gourmet restaurant. It is in the latter that we find a typical old zinc, antique mirrors, an open kitchen and, above all, an exceptional modern Franco-Japanese menu that will make some of the city's big Michelin stars turn pale.
And finally, the latest addition to Nomoto san's imagination is Stand TORA, a small Whisky bar that takes us straight back to the cozy atmosphere so special to bars in Japan!
