|
|
 An ancient industrial zone which used to be the Suchard chocolate factory. Now a Japanese restaurant, all in red, is built over the 30m silo. This is Masaru Kobayashi's kingdom. A chef from Tokyo who worked under the guidance of Kiyomi Mikuni for ten years, a star in Japanese cuisine who worked with Frédy Girardet, Alain Chapel and Michel Troisgros.
A Franco-Japanese heritage. « Fusion cooking » inspired by the desires of the host and guests. Chicken thighs with Devil's miso sauce, Japanese foie gras fritters, shrimp salad, veal rice with soya, wasabi crème brûlée with berries. In total, a dozen different themes for meals between 50 and 95 francs. Daily lunch specials for 20 francs.

The story of the Rhinoceros: in 1998, the ancient silo was bought by «the Blue Man,» alias André Kuenzy, a trained architect.
This is the man who had covered himself in blue latex and travelled the world, not speaking but watching people's reactions. He recounts his stories on postcards, and in cartoons and magazines. Another artistic project of his is how he transformed the lower section of his silo - which he called Rhinoceros - into a movie theatre. The result was a « Courge-métrage » festival, and its first showing was in February 2007.
