The EnYaa restaurant is located at 37 rue Montponsier in the 1st arrondissement in the heart of Paris, on the edge of the Palais Royal. It is a Japanese restaurant based on the concept of sake and champagne, conveying the traditions of Japan and the refined taste of Kyoto. The cuisine is a kaiseki cuisine created by Daisuke Endo, who studied for many years in Gion, Kyoto. 

furniture and white stone walls in perfect harmony, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The counter is made of a single piece of cypress wood carefully selected by Endo's father, a carpenter, and purchased in Japan. The details that are part of EnYaa's identity are also carefully selected. The tableware comes from the Ryuta kiln, a prestigious tableware company in Karatsu. The walls are decorated with murals of Karatsu Kunchi, as well as the beautiful sake and champagne labels in the gallery at the back of the restaurant. Two menus are available at lunchtime: the Lunch Menu (€45-60), which depends on the choice of main course, and the Discovery Menu (€90), which includes seven courses. Fresh seafood specialities Chirashi-Sushi and medium-roasted Spanish eel are the highlights of the Lunch Menu, while the Discovery Menu is a Kaiseki-style meal that begins with an aperitif and ends with a choice of three different main courses. It creates a luxurious lunchtime dining experience.

For dinner, the restaurant offers two courses - the eight-course Tasting Menu (120€) and the ten-course Omakase Menu (180€) - as well as an à la carte menu. The omakase course at the counter is particularly popular with local French people. The authentic Kaiseki cuisine offers a special culinary experience reminiscent of Kyoto. The pairings consist mainly of three types of sake and three types of champagne: Dégustation for 70€ and Omakasé for 100€. There is also an extensive by-the-glass menu, which offers a wide selection of rare sakes and champagne by the glass.
