A bona fide Japanese restaurant in Brest! Hinoki is run by local lad, Xavier Pensec, a diehard fan of Japanese cuisine. Locally caught fish is handpicked with exquisite precision by the chef who reveals a genuine gift for the art of sushi and a deep-rooted understanding of the role of each ingredient. Sushi and maki are crafted in view of diners as the chef discreetly deploys his virtuoso talent in an experience that borders on ceremonial.
