About
Marie Akaneya opened in May 2023 as a branch of the celebrated Akaneya Group from Japan, bringing sumibiyaki (charcoal grilling) to Paris for the first time. Located on rue Godot-de-Mauroy near La Madeleine, the restaurant is designed by architect Chiho Murata and Kyoto Tachibana University professor Arno Suzuki in the spirit of Japanese functional minimalism — rice paper lanterns, natural materials, intimate tatami semi-private rooms. The menu revolves around meat from Ito Ranch in Mie Prefecture, Japan's most decorated Matsusaka Beef producer, which is grilled tableside over binchotan charcoal. Marie Akaneya is also the first establishment in France (and one of only three in Europe) to serve Fukuroi's Crown Melon, and has been listed in the Michelin Guide France.
Neighborhood & visiting

Marie Akaneya sits in Madeleine (9th arr.), one of Paris's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused izakaya counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional izakaya restaurants often close between service periods.
