Ce restaurant japonais propose un véritable voyage des sens vers le Japon. Au menu se côtoient une grande variété de sushi, sashimi et autres spécialités du pays préparées par un jeune chef déjà très expérimenté. Le Thon utilisé n'est que du Thon Albacore. Un service à emporter permet de déguster chez soi tous ces plats en bénéficiant d'une réduction de 10% et une salle privée style tatami est disponible pour les repas d'affaires, les groupes ou les événements familiaux. Côté décoration, le Japon est également mis à l'honneur. Aux murs tout d'abord où des tableaux traditionnels sont exposés, et plusieurs écrans sont mis en place et diffusent des reportages et documentaires sur le pays. Dans l'atmosphère ensuite, où le bois, les lumières tamisées et une impression de tranquillité règnent et apportent une ambiance zen.

Most of my stay in Aix-en-Provence I was sick with a severe case of food poisoning. It lasted about 10 days before I was finally able to get a doctor to prescribe an antibiotic. Naruto was there because they make an excellent ramen. I highly recommend ordering any of them. They are on the mark authentic to what you can get in Japan. While I wasn't able to try any of their other dishes, I highly suspect they are on par with their ramen as Naruto is always packed. From the moment they open, all the tables are filled with customers. It doesn't matter what day of the week nor time of day. They are busy, busy, busy. The owner is a fun character, who enjoys being silly. He clearly takes preparing his meals seriously though. Check out his business cards. They will make you smile. He's something of a local celebrity. And you can see this is true fore he has that certain charisma that draws you into his world.

For only eleven euros you get to choose a main dish and two side dishes; I choose​ their raw fish mix over a bed of white rice. It looked very Japanese, but it did not taste Japanese. (I have been to a lot of Japanese restaurants and supermarkets where food is produced by Japanese people and this is my point of reference.) This visually appealing dish prepared by Nikki Sushi had fresh mint in it which in my experience is a Meditteranean touch, but not a Japanese touch. The sushi rice was lacking the sweet and sour flavor of Japanese rice vinegar. Similarly, the cucumber salad, which had a creamy dressing, was not made with Japanese mayonnaise​ which tends to be sweet. Instead, the cucumber salad tasted flat​ but fresh. While I appreciate​ that the decor appears to be authentic, complete with a Samurai's chest gear, the food lacks the same authenticity.

I tried a lot of sushi restaurant in France before, mostly in Paris or nearby, and I was either disappointed, or not enough satisfied. I had Sen-Cha green tea for drink, Jyo Chirashi (assortment of several raw fish on top of rice) and miso soup as main, a pair of Unagi Sushi (eel) as appetizer, and daifuku for dessert. I wasn't disappointed at all! Even the design is good! I definitely recommend this restaurant if you're nearby!
