The story behind the bowl
Jean-Baptiste Meusnier built Kodawari around obsessive research in Japan and a fully staged post-war Tokyo alley. The setting is theatrical, but the noodles, tare and sourcing are treated seriously.
Before you go: Reserve when possible and confirm you selected the Yokochō address; Kodawari's two Paris restaurants tell different stories.
