Great spot in Venice, sitting at the sushi bar . Let the chef take care of you and you’ll be surprise. If you enjoy white fish and lemon just get the Chiso Lemon Roll it’s delicious. 

We do not have anything similar in France. Japanese places are usually held by Chinese people. They serve exactly the same which is sashimi combo (salmon, tuna and white fish) usually not so fresh and not tasty at all.

We also have these chains of sushi take outs which are getting there (step by step) it’s more of a revisité (revisit) japanese food. A lot of different rolls with ingredients which are not at all japanese (cream cheese roll, lox, even nutella rolls with eggs) I wouldn’t say this is fine japanese cuisine but when you’re starving in Paris and need a light lunch it’s enough.

SushiShop is doing an awesome job lately, hiring French chefs (Thierry Marx) to “revisit” their menus, adding foie gras dishes/sushi, caviar and French style tartares. You guys can already check it out in NYC, they just opened a location there.

I’ll never trade any French japanese place for an average LA one though!

This is the best (in my opinion):

Shiso Lemon Roll Yellowtail, green onions and tempura shiso leaf inside, with thin slices of Halibut, and lemon on top with yuzu juice, chili oil, and salt  19.00

(you can also order half rolls)
