Umami

About Umami

As a newcomer wandering the foodscape of Strasbourg, stepping into Umami felt like discovering a hidden gem where Japanese precision meets Alsatian terroir in the most unexpected and delightful way. Housed in a typical Alsatian half-timbered home within the verdant Parc de l'Orangerie, this Michelin-starred restaurant has achieved something remarkable: creating a cuisine that bridges East and West while maintaining unwavering focus on rigor, precision, and passion. When their signature duck foie gras arrives, cooked au torchon and briefly smoked with vine shoots, you experience the perfect marriage of French luxury ingredients with Japanese technique and Alsatian regionality. What makes Umami extraordinary isn't just its unique positioning or the Michelin recognition—it's how the kitchen has created a philosophy of cooking that celebrates both the farm-to-table ethos of Alsace and the meticulous attention to detail that defines the finest Japanese cuisine.
