About
Sapporo is widely described as one of the oldest and most enduring Japanese restaurants on rue Sainte-Anne — the street that became Paris's Japanese culinary corridor. Multiple reviewers confirm the kitchen is staffed by Japanese cooks, and the regulars, who include Japanese tourists and long-standing Parisian fans, return consistently for the light chicken-broth shoyu ramen, crispy house gyoza, and satisfying katsu curry. The dining room is compact and unpretentious, with a counter overlooking the kitchen — the best seats for watching the ramen preparation. Across 25 years of visits, one reviewer documented 75 returns for the gyoza alone. Le Figaro has cited it among Paris's top ramen destinations. A second location operates at 276 rue Saint-Honoré.

Sapporo sits in 1st 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 ramen restaurants often close between service periods.
