Nanashi

Colorful, Japanese-inflected salads, soups, and small plates, as well as a decidedly non-Japanese coffee cream tart, courtesy of a Rose Bakery alum. Three locations, one on the rapidly changing rue du Paradis, the thoroughly bobofied upper Marais, and now in the Bonpoint boutique in the 6th.

Reviews of interest

• Figaroscope (2012) “…un joli mix de cuisine franco-nippone avec soupe, chirashi de saumon, bento ou rouleau de printemps végétarien, mais aussi petites salades légères et délicieuses…”
• Thierry Richard (2011) “La cantine bobobio par excellence, avec ce qu’il faut de jus de fruits et légumes (carotte, orange et gingembre décoiffant), de world food naturelle (salades, légumes croquants, petites pousses, germes, graines et céréales), et de belles plantes aux jambes longilignes qui peu à peu se croisent sous les tables.”
• Aaron Ayscough (2011) “It’s pretty excellent: a trim, calm, winningly designed corridor of a space,  in which one can enjoy fresh, healthful, completely unconventional bento-like meals accompanied by, among other things, a crude but well-intentioned selection of organic and natural wines.”
• Emmanuel Rubin – Figaroscope (2011) “tarifs ‘bobos’, entre 10 et 20 €. Rouleau printemps veggie : bien gavé. Salade patate douce, pois chiche, pavot : amusante, sans plus. Chirachi (bol de riz) saumon : correct…”
• Barbra Austin (2011) “Is it strange for a salad to inspire culinary reverie? Maybe, but Kaori Endo’s gorgeous, fresh food will do that.”
• Barbra Austin via Girls’ Guide to Paris (2011) “At lunch most people seem to order one of the bento boxes…On the right, two thick wedges of grilled tofu with sweet soy glaze and sesame seeds…On the left was a salad of baby greens, a wedge of roasted pumpkin and a seriously delicious salad of chickpeas, avocado and tiny cauliflower florets, with an aromatic and zippy coriander seed dressing.
• Emmanuel Rubin – Le Figaro (2010) “une modeuse mangeoire où la bobovoracité s’excite la papille en fréquentant les particules alimentaires d’une agitatrice de la popote nippone plutôt habile.”
• Pudlo (2010) “Voilà « la » perle du moment…Ce midi, le velouté de courge Butternut et châtaignes avec ses graines de courge, le rouleau végétarien (un poil sec), le délicieux shirashi de saumon, avec un poisson cru extra moelleux, une salade vive, un riz épatant,
• Caroline Mignot (2010) “Le bento du jour (13 €), choisi au tofu, celui-ci est cuisiné au gingembre, plutôt bien saisi, pas hyper généreux, mais gourmand…A côté, salades du jour patidou poêlé-brocoli-chou romanesco et carottes-pois chiches-fenouil, fraîches et savoureuses.
• François Simon (2010) “Cuisine familiale de Karuizawa (Nagano), bentos bienveillants et vivacité des saveurs dans un cadre aéré.”
