The story
Yushin is a Japanese restaurant at 77 rue Chauveau in Neuilly-sur-Seine, in the western suburbs of Paris, and Michelin lists it as Recommended for 2026. The cooking stays with Japanese traditions, served at a small counter close to the sushi bar.
Japanese-born chef Shuhei Yamashita trained at Kinugawa Vendôme and then at Ran in Paris before opening Yushin in Neuilly. The room has a miniature sushi bar for four guests and a display of wooden blades. Le Fooding listed the restaurant for 2026.
On the night Le Fooding visited, a meal cost €80 and included tuna maki brushed with soy sauce, amberjack and mackerel sushi, and grilled salmon with a miso and soy marinade. The grilled salmon came with pickled radish rounds. The meal ended with a chestnut-shaped wagashi, a Japanese pastry, served with matcha. The reviewer's advice was to book a seat at the bar well ahead.

History
Japanese-born chef Shuhei Yamashita (who used to work at Kinugawa Vendôme and then Ran in Paris) crossed the city limits and set up shop in the suburb of Neuilly. And it didn’t take long for his beautiful Yushin, which harbors a forest of wooden blades and a miniature sushi bar for four chopstick-wielding guests, to become a veritable temple to Japanese cuisine, joining the ranks of an elite list of West Parisian addresses. The night we went, in exchange for €80, the Mie Prefecture-native sent out small wonders that were a far cry from your typical laminated sushi menu finds: splendid tuna maki brushed with soy sauce and amberjack sashimi (surprisingly served without soy sauce, a shame), to sharpen your palate; an achingly tender trio of bonito and sea bream sashimi sourced with great care; amberjack and mackerel sushi that felt like they had just leapt out of the sea; perfect grilled salmon with a miso and soy marinade, served with pickled radish rounds; more sushi, featuring salmon, tuna, fatty tuna and glazed eel this time around, tantalizingly good; before a magnificent wagashi (a Japanese pastry), a trompe-l’oeil chestnut-shaped gem, served with umami-rich matcha. One piece of advice? Reserve a seat at the bar, and do so well ahead of time! // Gwen Jacquère
