Sushi Shunei sits in Montmartre behind a single, seven-metre hinoki counter where every seat faces the chefs directly, in keeping with Edomae tradition. The restaurant was built for founder Shunei Kimura, and since his death the counter has been run by his widow, Chizuko Kimura, alongside chef Takeshi Morooka, who brings three decades of sushi experience, including a stint as chef at Ginza Onodera in Tokyo and work training other chefs in Japan.
The Michelin star first awarded to Shunei Kimura in 2022 was lost in 2023 after his death and regained by the current team in March 2025. Nigiri are served on laquerware made to order in Kanazawa, with ceramics sourced in Kyoto, and paired on request with sake, precisely brewed teas (often served cold to bring out umami), or organic wine chosen from several hundred references.
Service runs for about two hours at the counter. Dinner is offered Tuesday through Saturday from 19:00 to 23:00, and a lunch sitting is added on Saturdays from 13:00 to 15:00; the restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday. The menu is not available in English, and pricing sits around €200 per person, placing it in the moderate tier for Paris omakase. There is no walk-in seating: reservations are taken by phone, and the restaurant is considered hard to book, with a recommended lead time of at least 48 hours.
