..of such a new type of contemporary Asian<\/strong> cuisine in Paris<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An essential stop<\/strong> for anyone wishing to explore the new facets<\/strong>.. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Just a stone’s throw from the illustrious Boulevard Saint-Germain<\/em>, a wind of renewal is blowing through the Parisian culinary scene. Since the end of 2022, the former trendy Cod House Restaurant<\/em> has given way to Jun<\/em>, this new restaurant that elegantly blends Japanese tradition with international influences. Led by native Japanese chefs, Shu Hasegawa and Yoshifumi Morita, this place is much more than just a Japanese establishment but an invitation to a sensory journey. <\/strong>While Japanese fusion cuisine has now conquered Paris, Jun<\/em> stands out for the precision of its execution, the quality of its ingredients, and the originality of its approach.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This setting, both soothing and elegant, completes a flawless sensory experience. Whether you’re here for a quick lunch, dinner with friends, or a culinary discovery, Jun stands out as a prime address in the Parisian culinary scene (photo credits: Jun Restaurant<\/em>). <\/strong>By AP<\/em><\/p>\n

Located in the same space<\/strong> as the former Cod House Restaurant<\/strong><\/em>, the Jun Restaurant<\/strong><\/em><\/a> retains some of its predecessor’s decorative<\/strong> elements, such as wooden furniture<\/strong>, bottles<\/strong> above the bar, linen<\/strong> cushions, etc. But here, the founders<\/strong> have added a personal touch<\/strong>, since upon entering<\/strong>, guests<\/strong> are greeted by a spectacular floral<\/strong> display, dominated by a ceiling<\/strong>, adorned with artificial cherry blossoms<\/strong>, hanging lanterns<\/strong>, and sake<\/strong> <\/em>barrels. Accessible <\/strong>without being pretentious, creative<\/strong> without being overwhelming, Jun<\/em> <\/strong>successfully achieves a certain modernity<\/strong>, while respecting the ancestral Japanese<\/strong> spirit.<\/p>\n

In fact, Jun<\/strong> <\/em>owes its uniqueness to the complementary<\/strong> skills of its two chefs<\/strong>, who are Shu Hasegawa<\/strong>, a sashimi<\/strong> <\/em>expert, honed his skills in renowned establishments<\/strong>, and in another hand, Yoshifumi Morita<\/strong>, a former baker<\/strong> in Tokyo<\/strong>, who worked at the renowned Buddha Bar<\/strong><\/em>, brings a creative and pastry<\/strong>-based approach to the menu<\/strong>. Their collaboration<\/strong>, which already began several years ago at Bar des Pr\u00e9s<\/strong><\/em>, harmoniously continues here at Jun<\/strong><\/em>. Together, they offer inventive some fusion<\/strong> cuisine, where Japanese<\/strong> products and techniques meet other culinary<\/strong> influences, from all around the World<\/strong>, like Peru<\/strong>, Korea<\/strong>, and of course France<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

As far as we know, each plate<\/strong> has been imagined as a sensory<\/strong> experience, although the inner Japanese DNA<\/em><\/strong> remains firmly present, through yuzu<\/strong><\/em>, miso<\/strong><\/em>, ponzu<\/strong><\/em>, and shiso<\/strong><\/em>, all adorning most of the creations<\/strong>. Therefore, at Jun<\/strong><\/em>, meals are meant to be shared<\/strong>, since the concept<\/strong> is based on a succession<\/strong> of small plates<\/strong> to be enjoyed together<\/strong>, notably towards cold appetizers<\/strong>, but also hot starters<\/strong>, fish or meat dishes<\/strong>, sushi<\/strong><\/em>, and revisited maki<\/strong><\/em>. This convivial<\/strong> approach is accompanied by a specific attention to details<\/strong>, both in presentation<\/strong> and flavor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Among the must-try specialities<\/strong> stand the yellowtail tiradito<\/em><\/strong>, seasoned with aji amarillo<\/strong><\/em>, accompanied with yuzu<\/strong> <\/em>juice, and lime<\/strong>, before eventually a Peruvian<\/strong> interpretation of ceviche<\/strong><\/em>, elegantly twisted in a Japanese<\/strong> style. Another highlight, the semi-cooked Obsiblue<\/em> prawn<\/strong> tartare<\/em>, softened by a honey<\/strong> and yuzu<\/strong> vinaigrette<\/em>, accompanied by mango<\/strong> and pomegranate<\/strong>. Adding to this, the miso<\/strong><\/em>-marinated black cod<\/strong>, tender and melting, is also a signature dish<\/strong>. As for makis<\/strong><\/em>, the combinations<\/strong> are daring, with this semi-cooked tuna<\/strong>, married with jalape\u00f1o<\/strong> vinaigrette<\/em>, or beef tataki<\/strong><\/em> with ponzu<\/strong> <\/em>and miso<\/strong> <\/em>with sansho<\/em> pepper<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

..unless you are more into those colorful mochi<\/strong><\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Let’s conclude with attractive cheesecake<\/strong><\/em>..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As for sweets<\/strong>, the menu<\/strong> offers only five desserts<\/strong>, but all are notable for their originality<\/strong>. For example, the yuzu<\/strong> <\/em>cheesecake<\/strong>, with a similar texture<\/strong> to panna cotta<\/strong><\/em>, stands out for its freshness<\/strong> and tangy<\/strong> flavor, while the green tea<\/strong> flavored tiramisu<\/strong> <\/em>with coffee<\/strong> jelly is as intriguing as it is seductive.<\/p>\n

Plus, their iced mochi<\/strong> <\/em>(featuring vanilla<\/strong>, mango<\/strong> or chocolate<\/strong>), may round off your meal<\/strong> with some genuine freshness<\/strong> and refinement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

..of course depending on your mood<\/strong> or the occasion<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cocktails<\/strong> and drinks<\/strong> can sometimes act as pairings<\/strong>..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nonetheless, Jun <\/strong><\/em>would as well take care of you with its drinks<\/strong>. In addition to a selection of wines<\/strong> and sakes<\/strong><\/em>, the bar<\/strong> offers signature cocktails<\/strong>, all designed to enhance those dishes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Among them, the revisited Mojito<\/strong> <\/em>with Japanese mint<\/strong> and bergamot<\/strong>, or the Jun Mule<\/strong><\/em> with gin<\/strong><\/em>, ginger<\/strong>, and lime<\/strong>, able to pleasantly refresh the palate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
