ERH

The story

ERH Paris – Modern Cuisine by Chef Ryuichi Utsumi at Maison du Saké

Concept and Setting

ERH is located within La Maison du Saké, at 11 rue Tiquetonne in the 2nd arrondissement. The restaurant’s cuisine draws inspiration from Japanese craftsmanship and French terroir – a meeting of traditions that defines its modern cuisine. Every dish reflects the seasons, worked with precision to create a gastronomic experience that is both refined and evolving.

Chef Ryuichi Utsumi

Chef Ryuichi Utsumi began his career in Japan, mastering the art of sushi before turning to French gastronomy. He then moved to Paris to deepen his knowledge. The result is a cuisine that is uniquely his own, bridging France and Japan with every plate. His approach is both respectful of technique and open to creative expression.

The Menu

The menu changes with the seasons. For lunch, guests can choose the Découverte (four courses, 65 €) or the Expérience (six courses, 90 €). Dinner options range from the Éveil (five courses, 75 €) to the Réminiscence (seven courses, 120 €) and the full Harmonie (nine courses, 165 €). Each menu is designed to be a narrative, letting the ingredients speak. Sake pairings are available in three- or five-glass formats, carefully selected to complement the food. The restaurant’s location within Maison du Saké makes these pairings a natural extension of the meal.

Beyond the Table

Below ERH lies the Golden Promise, a bar with two distinct spaces: a cocktail bar and a collector’s whisky bar, housing over 1,000 whiskies and around one hundred sakes. The same kitchen prepares a sharing menu for guests who wish to continue the experience downstairs. ERH has been recognized by the Michelin Guide as a Recommended restaurant, a testament to the quality and consistency of chef Utsumi’s modern cuisine.
