La Paix
Tokyo, Japan




∗1 Star
The Experience
From Michelin Guide
La Paix is supported by five thematic elements: Japan, harmony, spirit, connection and the senses. The element of Japan enters in the form of ‘French cuisine from Japan’. As a native of Wakayama Prefecture, the chef sources Kishu Ume and makes a type of butter from them. Blancmange of Tartary Buckwheat is a treat found nowhere else. A fusion of Japanese and French influences that fits perfectly in Nihombashi, the crossroads of old and new Japan.
