Sanjo, Ramen restaurant in 1st arrondissement, France
Sanjo is a Japanese ramen restaurant in Paris's 1st arrondissement with a modern, compact design. The space features white tiles framing the open kitchen, exposed stone walls, and large windows facing the street, creating a bright and airy dining area.
The restaurant was founded by chef Kaito Hori and has evolved over time. A significant change occurred when the kitchen shifted from pork-based broths to chicken-based broths in recent years, refining the flavor direction of the menu.
The space draws regulars who appreciate the straightforward approach to Japanese noodle cooking and the speed of service. An open kitchen lets visitors watch cooks work directly, creating a connection between diners and food preparation.
The space is compact and fills quickly during peak times, so visitors should expect waits or come during off-hours. Those preferring a quieter meal will find a more relaxed visit outside the lunch and dinner rushes.
The kitchen prepares a specialized shirunashi-style ramen with spicy ground pork and thin noodles bathed in concentrated broth. This preparation method stands apart from standard ramen dishes, showcasing techniques specific to Japanese noodle cooking traditions.
