Umami, Japanese restaurant in Strasbourg, France.
This Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant serves modern cuisine that blends traditional flavors with contemporary techniques, featuring market-fresh seafood and seasonal ingredients in a minimalist dining room with only sixteen seats.
The restaurant takes its name from the fifth basic taste identified by Japanese Professor Kikunae Ikeda in 1908, when he discovered this savory flavor profile while studying seaweed broth and introduced the concept to culinary science.
Chef René Fieger operates the kitchen independently, preparing dishes that showcase the umami flavor through careful use of soy sauce, dashi, and miso, reflecting Japanese culinary traditions adapted to French dining expectations.
The restaurant opens Friday and Monday evenings from seven thirty to eight thirty, with weekend lunch service from noon to one and dinner from seven thirty to eight thirty, requiring advance reservations through contact@restaurant-umami.com or by calling the provided phone number.
The establishment operates as a solo kitchen operation where Chef René Fieger personally prepares each dish, offering fixed menus including the ninety-euro Umami Menu for dinner and separate vegetarian options available exclusively during weekend lunch service.
