Open sesame! That’s secret password for Bows & Arrows, a true Japanese cave of wonders. This pop-up shop from the concept store by the same name, opened by Arrow and Thierry Lamoine four years ago, has settled down on the opposite side of the street until late March to the great delight of Japaonophiles. The inventory of this hip and well-sourced épicerie? Tubes of (fresh!) wasabi, delicate tofu, extremely flavorful rice, Japanese rums, carefully-selected teas… Sure, it’s a little on the pricey side, but rest assured that you’re not getting ripped off! // Maria Mariaux 

The hidden gem: The pre-made veggie broth (€13.30) so you can whip up a batch of homemade ramen!
