FINE DINING

His wasabi puree thus combines a unique traditional Japanese flavour with a popular puree texture . On top of sushi , maki and sashimi of an uttermost freshness , hot teppanyaki fish and meat deliciously melt in your mouth . The 72-hour marinated cod , baked , caramelized and presented in a magnolia leaf deserves a special mention . A pure delight .
Connoisseurs will definitely appreciate the “ rare whiskey ” bar operating in the middle of the dining room or exceptional teas to accompany your meal . As to the attentive service , they will do everything humanly possible to make you happy . After the meal , all the guests are given a little gourmet souvenir , a yuzu cake ( citrus fruit native to Eastern Asia ) to keep the emotions of these magical experiences alive . This minute attention tells a lot about the restaurant ’ s philosophy .
Lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday .

MC BY KODERA — SUSHI AND MAKI ROLLED UP “ À LA MINUTE ”
Real gourmets will truly appreciate this gastronomic venue . This pure Japanese restaurant located in the Condamine market , does not look like much . But it does have some unparalleled gastronomic surprises in store for us . Chef Harajiri Shinya is full on . He doesn ’ t even have time to stop for cheers at the restaurant ’ s opening . He is operating his sushi bar with the virtuosity of a pianist . Succulent balls of fragrant rice , topped with a slice of raw fish of an incomparable freshness , are all rolled “ à la minute ”. He is also making all sorts of maki right in front of his guests , daring superb variations of sea urchins or salmon eggs , delicately placed on a bowl of rice .
Horseradish quinoa , soy sauce salt-grilled salmon accompanied by a very mild sake , or Japanese tiramisu with green tea and red beans to crown this feast — we cannot recommend these delicious dishes enough . A pure marvel .
As for the drinks , the Japanese beer perfectly highlights all these flavours . As a prelude to a meal , a sweet plum liqueur is lively recommended to awaken your taste buds . Efficient , fast and pleasant , casually set out on wooden tables , MC by Kodera offers the best of Japan . Impressive know-how with no fuss . Not surprisingly , the restaurant is always full . Book it in advance or make sure you arrive at the spot in good time .
Open for lunch and dinner except Sunday and Monday evening .
