ESqUISSE

It is now over a decade since Lionel Beccat left his native France to take to a new stage in Japan. He travelled extensively in Japan, feeling the earth, breathing its natural world through his skin, to know its foodstuffs and culture intimately. Two cultures coexist inside his soul, stirring a new terroir in his imagination. The cuisine that inspiration creates is as subtle and beautiful as a work of art.

• A two-star counterpoint to the Ginza room, built around a single Menu spontané that changes, rather than a fixed à la carte.
• Michelin frames the cooking around the traditional 24 divisions of the seasons, a structure that turns the menu into a sequence of seasonal markers rather than named dishes.
• The experience is priced and paced like a full evening, with Champagne, water, and a gift included in the course structure.

Menu spontané (chef’s spontaneous course)

ESqUISSE only serves a set course, described as Menu spontané, with the number of plates varying by price point. Courses include bread, mineral water, and a glass of Champagne on the listed menus, with a 12% service fee added.
