The House of Sake
— French-Japanese fine dining restaurant in Paris
Ryuichi Utsumi
Identity
Our restaurant's cuisine, set within the House of Sake, draws on Japanese craftsmanship and French terroir.
Trained in Osaka and then in France, Ryuichi Utsumi brings together the fundamentals of French cuisine and Japanese umami — dashi broths, miso sauces, touches of whisky and sake. A dual culture that gives his plates a singular elegance, between Japanese precision and the generosity of French terroir. He joined ERH in 2018 alongside Keita Kitamura and has led its kitchen since 2025.
ERH — Water, Rice, Men — sits at 11 rue Tiquetonne, behind the Maison du Saké boutique. Below, the Golden Promise bars carry the address on into the night.
