If you haven't heard his name at least once in the last few months, you're probably living in a cave. Inoxtag, whose real name is Inès Benazzouz, is the new idol of young people. A 22-year-old YouTuber, he first made a name for himself by filming himself playing video games before revolutionizing YouTube with Kaizen, a documentary retracing his journey to climb Everest. Two months after the film's release, Michou's friend published his first manga, Instinct, and a clothing capsule bearing the image of his comic strip with the Célio brand. Elected man of the year 2024 by GQ, Inoxtag is definitely on the rise.
This Sunday, December 1, with Magda and Just Riadh, two other content creators adored by adolescents, Inoxtag reproduces the famous game “1,2,3, soleil” from the Netflix series Squid Game on the Champs-Élysées, with 456 other participants, on the occasion of the release of season 2 of the show, on December 26. Very inspired by the culture of East Asia, the 22-year-old YouTuber also appreciates the food of this continent. In November 2023, in an Instagram video published on the Le Guide Ultime account, the videographer revealed his favorite restaurant in Paris: Kintaro. An address that offers dishes from Japan and Korea.
Kintaro: authentic Japanese cuisine at a low price
Located at 24 rue Saint-Augustin, in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, Kintaro offers dishes from traditional Japanese but also Korean cuisine, at reasonable prices. Immersed in a modern Euro-Japanese atmosphere, Inoxtag likes to taste a Yakiniku in this establishment, sautéed beef with caramelized sauce (€16.5) which he accompanies with a bowl of white rice. “I’m dying for this dish”he admits in the video. Another essential dish at this address is Chicken Katsu (€12.5), breaded chicken with crispy breadcrumbs and tender meat. For dessert, we're easily tempted by the Yukimi daifuku, a green tea or black sesame ice cream coated with sticky rice paste (€5.5) or the Japanese-style cheesecake (€5.5). The restaurant offers options varying between 15 euros and 25 euros. An address to try urgently for die-hard fans of Asian food.
