Slip into Kicsi Japán, the cosy District VIII sushi spot that visitors travel across the city to find. Sit down to fresh nigiri in a small room that feels pleasantly like a corner of Japan.

Reviews
It is a nice little Japanese restaurant and it has a nice atmosphere. The sushi was fresh and really tasty. The pancake was a bit dry. I recommend to make a reservation in advance because there is a limited number of tables. We were lucky we've got one.
