I’d give my little sister away for a good bottle right now … if she was in Paris with me. It’s incredible I’m in the biggest city of France and I can’t find a Japanese restaurant that’s run by Japanese people with Japanese Sake at a decent price (there are tons of luxury sushi bar though … but I don’t have 150€ for a 6 Maki set).
You are lucky R-G

Dear Edouard!
Greetings!
There actualy exists a guide of real Japanese restaurants in France. You might do well to consult it!
Personally I wouldn’t spend that kind of money even for a Fench restaurant in Japan!
