Restaurant Sushi Shunei (1 star) – February 2025

Chef : Chizuko Kimura et maître sushi Takeshi Morooka

1 étoile Michelin

In the quiet 11th arrondissement of Paris, Sushi Shunei offers a rare and contemplative omakase experience, marked by extraordinary precision and an even more extraordinary story. At the helm is Chef Chizuko Kimura, a former IT engineer who made a bold career shift to become a sushi master — a rarity not only in Paris, but in the traditionally male-dominated world of Edomae sushi.

Trained with rigor in Japan, she brings a unique touch to each movement: from the blade work to the rice seasoning, everything is executed with meditative care. The fish is selected with discerning attention and prepared in a way that honors Japanese tradition while expressing quiet individuality.

Served in near silence at an elegant, minimalist counter, the tasting menu invites full immersion in flavor, texture, and time. Sushi Shunei is more than dinner — it’s a study in restraint, beauty, and quiet mastery.
