About
Juji-Ya occupies a central place in the fabric of Paris's Japanese community. At the front counter, house-made bento boxes, onigiri, and daily prepared dishes are sold to go or eaten at the small counter, attracting Japanese residents, office workers from the neighbourhood, and visiting food lovers. Behind the deli front, the grocery section stocks Japanese pantry essentials — rice, sauces, snacks, noodles — making it one of the most complete Japanese food destinations on the street. The operation is fast-paced and friendly, with efficient Japanese staff.
Neighborhood & visiting
Juji-Ya sits in 2nd arr. (Rue Sainte-Anne), one of Paris's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. The house does not publish an online booking link; call ahead to secure a seat, especially on weekends. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional donburi restaurants often close between service periods.

Counter seating only; primarily a takeaway operation. Arrive before 12:30 to avoid queues. The grocery section is open until 10 pm daily.
