Every time we go to Paris we tend to go to an udo restaurant we love called @Kunitoraya.(if you scroll a bit to christmas 2019 you can find it) It is amazing...however, unexpectedly, last year we found it closed on a tuesday.
Luckily for me, a bit further down the Rue de Richelieu , my husband had already researched an alternative : Kodawari Ramen. This is an oddly themed restaurant that, although it looks like the restaurants you could find in the old fish market in Tsukiji, serves delicious ramen.
The atmosphere is very calculated-casual... with packed tables that definitely remind you of the wonderful places one can find around Japanese fish markets. The diners however, were all rathen more formal and much less low key than those you find in Japan with some strugglishing to find a comfortable pose.
Nevertheless, the food, as I mentioned, was delicious.
- The Gyoza kodawari was not quite gyoza but most definitely scrumptious.
- The sea bream carpaccio was not for me. It was good, well presented etc but if you like fish, the flavours of the sea bream were lost in the many other things that formed part of the dish.
- Now, I don't like most ramen (mostly because it is served too hot and it tends to be too fatty for my body to deal with) and so I am always looking for alternatives... The mazemen without soup were delicious. Everything in the dish had been carefully prepared and made perfect sense together.
- From the point of view of my personal ramen expert, the ramen was also delicious.
Will definitely return.
