Inspiration straight from Japan
Authenticity is at the heart of our culinary philosophy. To offer the best sushi in Mandelieu, our chef doesn't just follow traditional recipes: he immerses himself in the Japanese culture and gastronomy by visiting Japan regularly. These journeys, true quests for perfection, are essential to capture the essence of the best sushi and bring back new ideas from the best sushi masters and local artisans, to share here on the Côte d'Azur, in Mandelieu.
During his stays, our chef scours Tokyo's emblematic markets, such as the famous Toyosu fish market, to select the best products and discover new trends. But it's not just about ingredients: it's also about immersion in the art of sushi, which has been passed down from generation to generation in Japan. He has the chance to interact with renowned itamae (sushi masters), observing every precise gesture, every ancestral technique, which he then brings back to his kitchen here in Mandelieu.
In addition to the big cities, our chef travels to more remote regions of Japan, such as Tohoku and Hokkaido, where local culinary traditions sometimes differ subtly. These regions are the best sources of inspiration for exploring new flavor combinations and discovering techniques that are not always known internationally. Whether tasting fermented sushi or observing unique fish-cutting techniques, these experiences constantly enrich our menu
These journeys are not only a culinary exploration, but also an immersion in the Japanese art of living. Every detail counts, from the way the rice is prepared to the exact temperature at which the fish is served. This meticulous attention to detail, combined with a spirit of innovation, enables our chef to create unique dishes that respect tradition while adapting to modern tastes, to bring you the best sushi in Mandelieu.
When he returns from each trip, he shares his discoveries with our team here in Mandelieu and adjusts our recipes to offer you an authentic contemporary culinary experience . So when you enjoy our sushi, you're not only tasting a delicious dish, but also the very best of Japanese culture, brought straight from the Land of the Rising Sun.

Our chef recommends
Our chef particularly recommends the Spicy Tuna. Inspired by the Osaka region, where cuisine is renowned for its boldness and powerful flavors, the Spicy Tuna is ideal for palates looking for a little spice.
This signature sushi combines the freshness of tuna with a hint of chili pepper to delicately spice up each bite. With its balanced texture between sweetness and spiciness, this roll reminds us of the best flavors of Osaka's izakayas (sushi bars), while remaining in Mandelieu.
