Masami, Japanese restaurant in Dijon, France
Masami is a Japanese restaurant in Dijon that combines traditional Japanese cuisine with local French ingredients in a minimalist dining space. Located on rue Jeannin, the establishment features clean lines and simple decor that lets the food take center stage.
Chef Masami Akaogi established the restaurant while maintaining authentic Japanese culinary techniques and incorporating regional Burgundian products into the menu. This approach of blending traditional Japanese methods with local sourcing has remained the foundation of the kitchen since its opening.
The restaurant introduces French diners to genuine Japanese cooking methods through carefully prepared dishes like unadon with caramelized eel and chawanmushi egg custard. Local Burgundian ingredients play a key role in how these traditional recipes come to life on the plate.
The restaurant operates twice daily from Monday to Saturday with separate lunch and dinner seatings. Reservations are recommended, especially for groups, and planning your visit around the regular service times helps ensure a smooth experience.
The kitchen produces its own soy sauce, which gives each dish a personal touch and shapes traditional recipes like Japanese-style beef carpaccio and karaage chicken. This homemade sauce reflects the attention to detail that runs through every plate.
