Onsen Tamago: A Taste of Japan in Bordeaux, Crafted by a Japanese Chef
In Bordeaux, Pavillon Yuasa is more than a sushi restaurant — it is a place where Japanese culinary traditions meet French elegance. Among its signature dishes, the Onsen Tamago (hot spring egg) stands out as a refined delicacy, created by an experienced Japanese chef who brings authentic flavors directly from Japan.
The Art of Onsen Tamago
An Onsen egg is a classic Japanese preparation, slowly cooked at low temperature until the yolk becomes silky and the white turns softly custard-like. At Pavillon Yuasa, this traditional dish is elevated with a fragrant aonori seaweed sauce and topped with salmon roe marinated in the house’s Yuasa-style soy sauce.
The result is a perfect harmony of flavors: the gentle sweetness of the egg, the oceanic aroma of seaweed, and the burst of umami from the marinated ikura.
Authenticity Through a Japanese Chef’s Hands
What makes this dish truly special is not only its taste but also the craftsmanship behind it. Because it is prepared by a Japanese chef, every detail reflects authenticity — from the balance of ingredients to the artistic presentation. Served in a dark ceramic bowl, with glossy orange salmon roe as a vivid contrast, the dish embodies the aesthetics of Japanese cuisine while resonating with Bordeaux’s refined dining culture.
More Than Just a Starter
Onsen Tamago at Pavillon Yuasa is more than an appetizer — it is an introduction to the spirit of Japanese gastronomy. Perfect on its own or paired with a glass of Bordeaux white wine or Japanese sake, it bridges two worlds of culinary excellence.
Whether you are seeking authentic sushi in Bordeaux, discovering the elegance of an omakase experience, or exploring the diversity of Japanese cuisine, Onsen Tamago crafted by a Japanese chef is an essential part of your journey.
