The best Japanese restaurants Midi-Pyrénées

Nîmes does not escape the very trendy taste of sushi, sashimi. Last creation, at the back of 2010, this new chic and contemporary snack, held by a French addict completely addict. Its raw and maki fish are tasty because sliced and made on site. No industrial delivery. But all this has an invaluable price: time. Count wide and, at midday, if you're in a hurry, waiting for its different pieces, which come to the gouttes, it can stress! If you want to forget his watch, you still have Zen with the Sakura formula, always announced by miso soupe soup and a tough white cabbage salad. Then arrivent, rice boulettes covered by a fine slice of salmon, tuna, sea bream, cuttlefish or shrimp. Maki, rolls of rice, are cerclés from a leaf of nori algae containing also salmon, tuna, cucumber or omelet. In sashimi or gunkan, no rice but more generous raw fish slices, served in an algal leaf. With the famous wasabi (relevée green mustard), marinated ginger or soy sauce. From time to time it is good and healthy.

This tiny Japanese fast-food is hidden in a Escutcheon, between Saint-Guilhem street and the Castellanes halles. For 7 euros, you enjoy Japanese specialities - but beware, no sushi here! Octopus au, fried boulettes, to dip in a sauce, are tasted. If you don't know your dexterity, beware of stains! We advise you to choose a bento, a meal tray packed with amazing Japanese dishes. The cook is seen as he prepares them on his cooking plates, at the customer's sight. If there is a free stool, you can eat on-site, but the shop is very tight, we prefer to take away. Côté drinks, explore the bubble tea, Japanese lemonade Ramune or Calpis Water. A good address for a lunch on the city in the city, secluded and cheap. If you ask, there is a delivery service in the evening.

In the sweeping of the sushi-bars that hit Nîmes, the fact that a national chain finds a room in front of the Bullring, instead of the Libanim square, is symptomatic of the underlying trend. A nice restaurant, design decor, where noon and evening we come to eat maki trays, sashimi, classic sushi or chirashi (fine slices of raw fish in a large bowl of vinaigré rice). The interest of this new restaurant, besides the pleasant place, is the possibility of eating something other than raw fish. Then ask for a large bowl of grilled, Japanese rice-bottom sesame or yakitori formulas (skewers beef au, boulettes and caramelized chicken slices to soy sauce). Entrée or wakamé salads, an Asian legume that resembles the small beans and desserts (cheese-cake au, financier financier, lemon macaroons) are also original. The missing link between the Shogun and sushi-bars.

The chef is of Japanese origin and has a solid background in the traditional cuisine of the Empire of the Rising Sun. You can watch the cooking take place before your very eyes, as the master chef works behind the counter to create his specialties of raw fish or charcoal skewers. All the Japanese specialties are cooked, such as ramen, Doonburri, plates of noodles, makis and hearty, good-sized sushi, assortments of succulent skewers with salmon, beef, chicken and a surprising one with cheese.
