Sushi Yoshinaga
A scheduled omakase dinner near Opéra
Sushi Yoshinaga is Tomoyuki Yoshinaga’s omakase restaurant at 27 rue du 4-Septembre in Paris. Michelin’s 2026 selection awards it two stars; its review describes warm dishes before sushi and no more than ten diners.
The operator lists one seasonal omakase at €330, rising to €360 from January 2027. Dinner is Tuesday–Saturday at 19:00 or 21:30 and lasts about two hours. First-sitting guests leave by 21:15; arriving over 15 minutes late can mean missing courses. The separately advertised Omasake izakaya has its own offer.

L'Abysse Paris
French-Japanese tasting menus and a requested counter seat
L’Abysse Paris is Yannick Alléno’s French-Japanese restaurant at Pavillon Ledoyen, 8 avenue Dutuit. It has two stars in Michelin’s 2026 selection and a twelve-seat counter described by the Guide.
The operator describes nigiri prepared at the counter within lunch and dinner menus that combine Japanese and French cooking, followed by desserts from Valentin Mille’s pastry team. Contemporary art is part of the dining-room setting; wine and sake are separate choices whose inclusion depends on the selected menu.

Jin
A ten-seat counter with distinct lunch and dinner menus
Jin is an omakase sushi restaurant at 6 rue de la Sourdière in Paris’s 1st arrondissement. Its current site names chef Satoshi Kobayashi and sous-chef Akifumi Hara, and states ten counter seats. Michelin awarded it one star in 2026.
The operator lists lunch menus at €120 and €150, and the dinner Menu JIN at €250. Its hours are Tuesday–Saturday, 13:00–14:30 and 19:00–22:00. These operator details supersede Michelin’s conflicting timetable and single-menu description. The operator-linked TheFork page also lists the three menus; drinks and signature supplements have separate prices.

Sushi Shunei
Edomae sushi at a fixed Montmartre sitting
Sushi Shunei is an Edomae sushi restaurant at 3 rue Audran in Montmartre. Chizuko Kimura and Takeshi Morooka continue the restaurant founded for Shunei Kimura. Michelin’s 2026 selection gives it one star.
The restaurant centres on a seven-metre hinoki counter. Michelin describes two omakase versions chosen when booking. The official site also presents sake, tea and wine pairings; choose the menu and any drinks explicitly rather than assuming they share one charge.

HANADA
A full omakase meal with a no-photography rule
HANADA is Masayoshi Hanada’s sushi restaurant at 15 quai Voltaire on Paris’s Left Bank. Michelin’s 2026 selection gives it one star, and its review describes ten seats at the hinoki counter, with nigiri and maki alongside wine and sake choices.
The official site publishes a single chef’s omakase at €350, with nigiri served individually. It asks guests not to take photographs or video during the meal; a photograph with the chef may be arranged afterwards. The menu price does not by itself establish a drinks package or a reservation on a particular evening.

Sushi B
An eight-seat counter with different lunch and dinner options
Sushi B is a small omakase restaurant at 5 rue Rameau near Square Louvois in Paris. Michelin’s 2026 selection gives it one star. Sushi and sashimi sit alongside cooked dishes; there is no à la carte menu.
The menu page lists €150 lunch, €90 sushi lunch exclusively on Thursday and Friday, €280 dinner omakase and €320 WA dinner including Wagyu. Lunch starts at 12:30 Thursday–Sunday; dinner Wednesday–Sunday starts at 19:00 or 21:30. First-sitting guests vacate by 21:20. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday lunch and French national holidays are normally closed; dated exceptions and the published 21 December 2026–5 January 2027 winter closure override the normal week.

Zen
Sushi alongside a broader Palais-Royal Japanese menu
Zen is a Japanese restaurant at 8 rue de l’Échelle in Paris, founded in 2006 by Zen Okawa with chef Mitsuru Yamada. Lunch follows a Japanese canteen format; dinner has an izakaya menu, with a separate private omakase offer.
The detailed menu lists sushi, maki, sashimi, chirashi, grilled fish, curry, tempura and pork gyoza. It quotes Lunch ZEN at €28, while the homepage still mentions €26. Sushi assortments are listed at €30 for lunch and €40 for dinner. Use the chosen menu’s price and discuss any discrepancy; these examples are not a full-meal budget.

Shintaro
Sushi and cooked Japanese dishes in central Nice
Shintaro is Shintaro Suzuki’s Japanese restaurant at 8 rue Gubernatis in Nice. Michelin describes a sushi counter and a separate small dining space, with cooked dishes as well as sushi.
Michelin mentions aubergine with soy and ginger, beef tataki and yuzu-miso tuna katsu, and says the simpler lunchtime set requires a reservation. Those examples show the wider cooking offered; they do not establish a fixed menu or current numeric price. Ask for the intended lunch or dinner menu and whether the booking is at the counter or in the dining room.

Choose the meal before the reservation
Small omakase counters have fixed starts, limited capacity and menu-specific dietary and cancellation rules. Choose the actual service and drinks arrangement.
Jin publishes separate lunch and dinner menus. Sushi B’s €90 sushi lunch is restricted to Thursday and Friday; other menus and possible cancellation charges differ.
Yushin is in Neuilly-sur-Seine and Shintaro in Nice. Zen’s broader Japanese menu and private group offer should not be treated as a small two-person omakase counter.
Hakuba serves dinner Tuesday to Saturday. Its booking page describes about three hours, with children choosing the same menu as adults and pets excluded. The operator’s pages differ on late arrivals; plan to arrive by the reserved time.
Questions before you choose
Does Jin have eight seats?
The current operator states ten seats and separate lunch and dinner menus.
Can I reserve Zen for lunch?
No. Its operator accepts dinner reservations online or by telephone and serves lunch without booking.
Is Sushi B’s €90 lunch available every day?
Its menu restricts that sushi lunch to Thursday and Friday; the other lunch menu is €150.
Are all these restaurants in Paris?
No. Yushin is in Neuilly-sur-Seine, just outside central Paris, and Shintaro is in Nice. The other selections are in Paris.
