Our Exquisite Japanese Menu

At Shin Izakaya Paris, we pride ourselves on offering an extensive menu of Japanese tapas designed for sharing, encouraging a communal dining experience that is both delightful and memorable. From perfectly grilled skewers of succulent Yakitori, featuring tender chicken, flavorful beef, and seasonal vegetables like asparagus and shiitake mushrooms, all expertly seasoned and cooked over an open flame, to crispy, delicate Tempura crafted with the freshest seafood such as prawns and white fish, alongside garden produce like lotus root and sweet potato, every dish is a testament to our chefs' dedication to authenticity and culinary excellence. Explore our diverse array of small plates, including meticulously prepared Sashimi and Nigiri, showcasing the finest cuts of sustainably sourced fish, alongside popular favorites like pan-fried Gyoza with crispy bottoms, juicy Karaage (Japanese fried chicken), and various savory Okonomiyaki creations that capture the essence of regional Japanese street food. We also offer delectable Tsukemono (pickled vegetables) and refreshing seaweed salads, providing a full spectrum of traditional Japanese appetizers.

Commitment to Quality and Authentic Flavors

Our commitment to quality extends to every ingredient we use. Shin Izakaya Paris sources the freshest, seasonal produce, premium meats, and authentic Japanese condiments to ensure that each bite delivers an explosion of genuine Japanese flavor. Whether you're craving the rich, umami depth of our meticulously brewed Miso Soup, made with dashi from kombu and katsuobushi, the comforting warmth of a hearty Ramen bowl (ask about our daily specials, often featuring tonkotsu, shoyu, or miso broths with perfectly cooked noodles and tender chashu pork!), or the delicate balance of flavors in our agedashi tofu, gently fried and served in a dashi broth, Shin Izakaya Paris offers something to tantalize every palate. We understand that a truly exceptional Japanese dining experience goes beyond just food. It's about the atmosphere, the attentive service, and the carefully selected accompaniments that elevate your meal to an art form.
