"Quite happily surprised to discover an excellent Japanese restaurant here in the suburbs of Montpellier. The focus is small plates featuring Japanese cuisine that is NOT sushi, and I am grateful for that. The gyoza, the miso, the edamame, the tofu all standouts."

Nice menu with no sushis makis it's all about other Japanese plates and flavors. All choices come in small portions, like tapas, to have a bite here and there and taste as many different things as possible. We had about 6 different plates each, and we're pretty full! Many vegetarian options, greatly appreciated. The only thing is that it's a little pricy. I had ordered a salad and asked that they do not include the crab, which was likely the most expensive thing in it and the price stayed the same which I found somewhat inconsiderate.
A pleasant surprise to find some very authentic Japanese flavours in a village street the miso soup took us straight back to our stay in Japan. Portion sizes good for tasting and sharing a variety of taste and texture. Great to find some craft beers on the menu too, although at double price, and a fine dark beer I tried. Enthusiastic service and a good buzz. An unexpected discovery.
We had a lovely Saturday evening with our 3 children, who all adored the food. We were able share the tapas style Japanese 'assietes ' which were simply delicious, if a little pricey. The staff were amazing, great with the kids, and patient with our poor French. The decor was impressive minimalist, but ambient. Would recommend very highly and would hope to return soon.
Quaint little spot in downtown Castelnau-le-Lez, great for lunch. The ambiance is friendly and classy and the staff is welcoming and efficient. I recommend having lunch here during the week, if you can, and order off the menu. Set menu comes with soup and rice if you wish. The portions may be on the small side if you are starving. The price point is good.
