We are an authentic wagyu restaurant where you can enjoy premium-quality Japanese yakiniku in the traditional Japanese style.
In the heart of Paris, experience genuine Japanese food culture.
Yakiniku first appeared in Japan after WWII, originally influenced by Korean-style grilled meat and marinated offal dishes.
Over time, Japan developed its own unique style: grilling meat without seasoning and then dipping it into sauce before eating.
This culture continued to evolve further, with people enjoying thick cuts simply with salt, or with soy sauce and wasabi, constantly exploring the best ways to enhance the flavor of grilled meat.
This philosophy of bringing out the natural taste of ingredients is deeply rooted in Japanese cuisine itself.
It became the defining characteristic of Japanese yakiniku and was embraced by people across the country.
Advances in grilling technology also helped yakiniku become more widespread.
In the past, yakiniku restaurants were often filled with smoke, leaving strong odors on clothes and hair.
However, improvements in charcoal and gas grills, along with the development of smokeless roasters that absorb smoke directly above the grill, made it possible to enjoy yakiniku comfortably at home and in restaurants without worrying about lingering smells.
At our restaurant, every table is equipped with state-of-the-art smokeless roasters.
In a clean and comfortable environment, we invite you to experience Japanese food culture through the pursuit of enjoying grilled meat at its very best.
The term “Wagyu” is now widely used around the world. However, its use is subject to strict standards.
As the name suggests, it literally means “Japanese cow” and refers only to cattle that are born, raised, and fattened in Japan. Wagyu is also certified according to strict bloodline, breeding, and grading standards.
Over more than 80 years of history and careful genetic selection, authentic Japanese Wagyu produced in Japan has been developed through craftsmanship passed down across generations.
Every authentic Japanese Wagyu produced in Japan is assigned an individual identification number, allowing full traceability of its origin, breeding history, and grading. This system guarantees authenticity and provides confidence to consumers.
We import only genuine Japanese Wagyu produced in Japan directly from processing facilities in Japan to Paris under strict temperature control.
By avoiding intermediaries, we are able to offer premium Japanese Wagyu produced in Japan, of the same quality as that enjoyed in Japan, at fair prices.
We offer a carefully selected range of Japanese Wagyu produced in Japan from various regions of the country, including Saroma Beef (Hokkaido), Aomori Beef (Aomori Prefecture), Iwate Beef (Iwate Prefecture), Tochigi Beef (Tochigi Prefecture), Joshu Wagyu (Gunma Prefecture), Hida Beef (Gifu Prefecture), Kyoto Gyu Miyabi (Kyoto Prefecture), and Kagoshima Kuroushi (Kagoshima Prefecture).
We are committed to offering Japanese Wagyu produced in Japan, carefully raised in different regions of the country with particular attention to the fattening period. Much like enjoying the diversity of Burgundy wines, you can experience the unique characteristics and flavors of Wagyu produced in different regions of Japan.
In addition, the entire breeding process is managed under the world-class HACCP food safety system. The meat processing facilities are also certified by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as approved export facilities for Europe and North America.
We invite you to enjoy premium branded Japanese Wagyu produced in Japan, raised in a rich natural environment under some of the world's highest hygiene standards, offering both exceptional safety and outstanding flavor.
We value the Japanese spirit of hospitality known as “omotenashi,” a mindset of caring even for the details that cannot be seen.
The term originally comes from the Japanese tea ceremony.
It teaches people to understand the feelings of others, act with thoughtfulness and sincerity, remain prepared, and pay equal attention to every guest.
Over time, this spirit became deeply rooted in Japanese culture and spread far beyond the tea ceremony, becoming a fundamental approach to customer service and daily life throughout Japan.
Every guest we welcome may be a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
That is why we strive to offer our utmost gratitude and hospitality in every moment.
We sincerely hope that your dining experience at WAGYU RESTAURANT IINIKU 1129 will contribute, even in a small way, to your happiness.
