Two-star kaiseki-sushi from Arnaud Donckele, Takuya Watanabe, and pastry chef Maxime Frédéric. Dinner only, Tuesday to Saturday from 18:30. The menu is seafood, soy, gluten, and raw and cooked fish — the house says it cannot make exceptions. Late arrivals are not seated. The room typically closes for several weeks in late summer. This is a single Japanese tasting, not an à la carte sushi bar.

Reservation Tip
Dinner only, Tuesday to Saturday. Arrive on time — the house will not seat a late table. Confirm the summer close.
Hakuba FAQ
- Will Hakuba seat a late arrival?
- No. Late arrivals are not seated. Plan the transfer and the Louvre walk so you are on time for 18:30.
- Can the kitchen adapt the tasting?
- The house says the menu is seafood, soy, gluten, and raw and cooked fish, and it cannot make exceptions. If that does not work, book another room.
- Is Hakuba open for lunch?
- No. Dinner only, Tuesday to Saturday from 18:30. Langosteria is the lunch option later in the week.
- Does Hakuba close in late summer?
- Typically yes, for several weeks. Confirm the calendar before you treat this as the reason for an August stay.
