Nodaïwa

About

Nodaïwa has been a Parisian institution since 1996, faithfully representing Japanese culinary tradition centered on eel (unagi). Located on rue Saint-Honoré, this outpost of the prestigious Tokyo establishment perpetuates ancestral preparation methods, with eels received live and cooked by authentic Japanese chefs. The secret sauce, unchanged for five generations, remains the heart of the experience. Beyond classic grilled eel, the restaurant offers refined variations: in aspic (nikogori), as a savory custard (chawanmushi), marinated, smoked, or as sushi. Each dish is accompanied by carefully selected organic rice, delicate broth, and pickled vegetables. The establishment stands out for its refined décor, attentive service, and gastronomic recognition, attracting a clientele passionate about this exceptional specialty.
