Our Omakase Menus

The spirit of Akabeko: harmony between French gastronomy and Japanese culture
At Akabeko, we believe that cuisine is a journey of emotions and traditions.
Our gastronomic restaurant, located in the heart of Paris, offers a unique experience, blending French haute cuisine with authentic Japanese flavors.
The name Akabeko is inspired by a traditional legend from the Fukushima Prefecture, the native region of our chef, Yasuo Nanaumi.
The Akabeko is a small red papier-mâché figurine in the shape of a calf.
In Japanese culture, it is considered a symbol of strength, perseverance, and protection, especially against epidemics and illness.
Through this reference, Akabeko embodies the values dear to our restaurant : respect for our roots, passion for craftsmanship, and positive energy.
Trained in some of the finest Michelin-starred establishments in France, Chef Nanaumi expresses his deep love for seasonal products, the refinement of flavors, and the art of detail through his Omakase menus.
At Akabeko, every lunch and dinner is an invitation to a culinary journey — recognized by the MICHELIN Selection — where Japanese mastery meets French elegance in an intimate setting.
Akabeko : a signature, an emotion, a living story to share.
