About

Takara is Paris's oldest Japanese restaurant, established in 1958. Located on Rue Molière near the Opéra, this 'treasure' (meaning of its name) serves authentic, traditional Japanese cuisine in a timeless intimate setting. Dark wood paneling, ukiyo-e prints, and discreet service in traditional kimonos create an atmosphere of stepping into Tokyo. Chef Yukio Yamakoshi prepares sushi, sashimi, sukiyaki, and shabu-shabu with meticulous precision. Signature dishes include chirashi, traditional hot pots, and caramelized grilled eel. A Parisian institution for those seeking refined and authentic Japanese gastronomy.
