Karé unveils Paris’ first matcha ramen in the 6th arrondissement

Matcha green broth, melting duck and a touch of pistachio: this bold creation is the talk of the town in Paris’s 6th arrondissement. This original matcha ramen, offered by restaurant Karé, combines two Parisian passions in a single steaming bowl. A recipe as unusual as it is gourmet, it’s likely to divide as well as seduce.

Karé, the Japanese spot in the 6th arrondissement

From comforting Japanese curries to steaming ramen, Karé explores the best authentic Japanese recipes. The restaurant has two addresses in the 6th arrondissement: one on rue Dauphine, the other on rue Mazarine. Lovers of Japanese cuisine can easily make a detour here.

Karé relies on the quality of its ingredients to offer its customers the very best of Japan. The broths are simmered for hours to obtain flavors that are as intense as they are deep. As a result, every bowl becomes a true taste experience.

The menu features Japanese tapas such as crispy gyozas, kakiage and takoyaki. Regressive curries sit alongside generous ramen, prepared with care. What’s more, the warm atmosphere invites you to take your time.

A menu that celebrates Japanese tradition

The restaurant doesn’t just reproduce the classics: it sublimates them. Karé’s ramen stands out for its carefully crafted broths. On the other hand, the current novelty is clearly off the beaten track.

“If matcha haters don’t like it, no, it doesn’t taste like grass!”

This humorous quip sums up Karé’s state of mind. The restaurant embraces its audacity and invites the curious to try it. From now on, matcha is no longer limited to beverages: it’s now available in your bowl of noodles.

Paris’ first matcha ramen

In response to the Parisian craze for matcha, Karé has launched a new limited-edition recipe. This matcha ramen swaps clear or creamy broths for a smooth green liquid. As a result, your noodles soak in a surprising and visually striking base.

To create this unique broth, the chefs mix matcha powder with poultry stock. Pistachio paste is added to give the dish a creamy texture. The result is a particularly silky texture on the palate.

• A matcha powder and poultry stock broth
• Pistachio paste for creaminess
• Tender pieces of duck breast fillet
• A runny soft-boiled egg
• At €20 per bowl

The bitterness of green tea contrasts with the umami flavors of ramen. This unexpected marriage creates a subtle balance on the palate. The duck breast adds an extra touch of deliciousness.

A bowl that divides as much as it seduces

This matcha ramen won’t appeal to everyone. Fans of traditional recipes may be put off. However, fans of green tea will find it a new way to enjoy their favorite ingredient.

The green color of the broth is an immediate eye-catcher. It contrasts with the usual hues of classic ramen. On the other hand, the taste remains true to the Japanese spirit: umami, depth and comfort.

This limited-edition creation is aimed at the curious and the gourmet alike. In this way, Karé proves its ability to innovate without betraying its roots. This matcha ramen could well become a seasonal must-have.

Where to taste matcha ramen in Paris

To savor this curious blend, head for Paris’s 6th arrondissement. Karé welcomes you at 10, rue Dauphine or 76, rue Mazarine. Both addresses offer this original creation.

Coffee shops and tea rooms serving matcha are springing up like mushrooms in Paris. However, no other establishment yet offers such a matcha ramen. Karé is a pioneer in the capital.

Expect to pay €20 for this unusual bowl. It’s an affordable price for such an original experience. All that’s left to do is slurp your noodles, in the traditional Japanese way.

This innovation reflects the growing popularity of matcha among Parisians. The Japanese green tea is now making a name for itself far beyond hot drinks. With this matcha ramen, Karé opens up a new culinary avenue in the Parisian gastronomic landscape.
