Tsubame

About

Tsubame is an intimate Japanese restaurant in Paris's 9th arrondissement, created by Clément Nguyen and Masumi Tao. The venue stands out with its unique concept: generous and refined bentos at lunch, transforming into an izakaya in the evening with creative Japanese tapas. The interior, designed with typically Japanese understated elegance, highlights artisanal details like traditional fabrics and suspended lighting. The menu features inventive dishes such as sea bass ceviche, sake-marinated beef, and fusion desserts like matcha crème brûlée. The focus is on fresh products, delicate preparations, and an authentic culinary experience that captures the spirit of small Japanese eateries.
