About
Sanjo is a ramen restaurant founded in 2018 by Kaito Hori, a Japanese fashion designer, discreetly located on rue d'Argenteuil at the edge of Paris's Little Tokyo. The venue combines minimalist, raw décor—exposed stone, open kitchen, hanging globe lights—with quality cuisine led by chefs Ryoun Komatsu and Takamasa Hayatsu. The house excels in traditional ramen: the Toripota with chicken and pork broth simmered for ten hours, the classic Sanjo, and creative versions such as a vegan ramen with seasonal vegetables or Shirunashi TanTan noodles without broth. Noodles are made in-house. The menu also features izakaya classics—steamed gyoza, karaage, miso eggplant—and homemade desserts. The beverage selection emphasizes sake, Japanese beers, and natural wines. Sanjo embodies haute-couture ramen: refinement without pretense, quality ingredients, and masterful technique.

Excerpts from 12 editorial mentions cross-referenced by Gatto.
“Last week, when I went to Sanjo, I was surprised to see that the restaurant, which had only been open for two weeks, was so popular that people were lining up outside to wait for a table: that’s a true phénomène de mode.”
parisupdate.com “Déjà tourné vers le dessert, on n’a pas fini nos ramens : pas de bol. Le sorbet yuzu de la formule reste timide, et la terrine choco, genre de moelleux réfrigéré, est plus intense mais peine à justifier son prix à la carte (7 €).”
timeout.fr “Rue d'Argenteuil, derrière l'avenue de l'Opéra, Sanjo propose un florilège de ramens à toutes les sauces. Au porc nature ou pimenté, coiffé d'un œuf mollet, aux champignons noirs ou même saupoudré”
