L'OSIER (ロオジエ) Tokyo

About three months ago, I made a reservation through TableCheck.Given its three-star rating, my expectations were quite high.Photography is allowed, but the shutter sound must be turned off.The course meal was exquisite, and the attentive service made for a truly elegant experience. (Though, with three stars, that’s to be expected.)Starting with the appetizers, the seasonal corn soup was exceptionally sweet, with a refined and smooth texture.For the main course, I had duck, and the fish was Kinmedai (golden eye snapper). The Kinmedai paired beautifully with the tomato sauce, balancing the richness of the fish with the refreshing acidity and freshness of the tomatoes, creating a perfect harmony without feeling heavy.The duck was impressively flavorful, with a delicate sweetness in the fat, and the rich taste of the duck spread across my palate with each bite.The dessert cart featured dozens of options, which was exciting just to look at. There was an abundance of chocolate, making it hard to choose! There were also sweets made with alcohol, making it a great recommendation even for those who aren’t fond of sweets.The dazzling interior truly embodies the essence of a grand maison. It had a vibrant yet calming atmosphere that naturally heightened my anticipation for the dishes.The staff were kind and attentive, with some even displaying a playful spirit, which made my visit enjoyable.I would love to visit again.

I celebrated my mother's birthday with a special dinner course.Located in the heart of Ginza, the restaurant offers a calm and lovely atmosphere, perfect for a special occasion. Since it was my mother's birthday, we were able to enjoy a slightly more luxurious experience than usual.The dishes showcased the quality of the ingredients, and each plate was meticulously prepared. It was a highly satisfying course that allowed us to truly appreciate the deliciousness of the ingredients.What stood out the most was the service. From start to finish, the staff provided thoughtful attention, ensuring we had a pleasant experience. I felt that everything, from the ingredients to the service, was truly perfect. I believe this is a restaurant you can confidently choose for a special meal.One minor point—though not a complaint—was that there is a charge for water, which might surprise first-time visitors. If you know this in advance, it won't be an issue, so it's a good idea to check if you're concerned.In this wonderful Ginza location, you can enjoy high-quality ingredients and attentive service. We had a lovely time celebrating my mother's important day here, and I highly recommend it for special occasions. Less

I had my first visit to the renowned Michelin three-star restaurant, L'OSIER, which has held this prestigious title for eight consecutive years! ✨I was taken here for my birthday!At the entrance, a doorman welcomed us and opened the heavy door, creating a sense of specialness that made me excited. (^^)As we descended the stairs, the high ceilings and luxurious decor created a spacious and elegant atmosphere, perfectly suited for Ginza.(Note: Be careful when taking photos, as there is a rule to keep the shutter sound off.)Every dish was visually stunning, vibrant, and beautifully presented. (*´ω`*) I was delighted to have a choice of bread, which was so delicious that I couldn't help but overindulge! The main dish, roasted venison, was tender and thick, and despite the common perception that venison can be dry if not cooked properly, it was juicy and easy to eat—absolutely delicious! ♪While the main course was fantastic, my personal favorite was the corn soup. (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) It was topped with corn ice cream and espresso, and the combination of the corn's sweetness with the espresso's bitter notes was simply amazing!They also prepared a birthday plate for me! ✨ No matter how old you get, receiving a special plate is always a joy. (^^) After that, a dessert cart was presented, and I could order as much as I wanted! I wanted to try everything, but I settled for chocolate and canelé. The logo on the desserts was adorable too! ✨I was so happy to finally visit a place I had long wanted to experience. The food, the ambiance, and the attentive service truly reflected its three-star status. I was deeply impressed! I hope to return to this wonderful restaurant someday. (〃´-`〃) Less

I visited L'OSIER in Ginza.This renowned French restaurant, managed by Shiseido, has earned three Michelin stars in the Tokyo 2026 guide. On this occasion, I opted for the lightest lunch course, "MENU DÉJEUNER," paired with wine.To sum it up, it was truly an exceptional restaurant. Everything from the food to the ambiance, tableware, service, and dessert cart was exquisite, leaving a lingering impression long after the meal.【Ordered Menu】 ・MENU DÉJEUNER ¥20,000 ・Wine Pairing ¥17,000 【LUNCH MENU DÉJEUNER】 ・Amuse-Bouche ・Assorted Shellfish with Oscietra Caviar ・Roasted Summer Venison from Tottori Prefecture ・Pre-Dessert ・Apricot and Almond Combination ・Dessert Cart ・Coffee From the very first appetizer, I was already amazed. The treatment of the cucumber was incredibly delicate, so refined that it hardly felt like a cucumber. I was instantly drawn into the world of L'OSIER with that first dish.There were about five types of bread, and I was delighted to try them all. Each one had a unique aroma and texture, making them a memorable treat between courses.The wine pairing was excellent, and I was thrilled when Japanese sake was served. It seamlessly blended with the French flow, adding a touch of Japanese elegance to the pairing.The corn soup was beautifully sweet and aromatic, delivering an immediate "delicious" reaction. The fish dish showcased high-quality ingredients, with superb cooking and sauce. The meat was tender, with the aroma of black truffle wafting through, keeping my happiness levels high until the very end.The desserts were equally top-notch, and my excitement peaked when the dessert cart arrived. The petit fours were delightful, making it hard to resist asking for more of everything.The official origin of the restaurant's name is "Osier," which means willow in French. I couldn't help but notice the letter "S" in the spelling, reminiscent of Shiseido's "S," which added to my excitement.While it is certainly in a special price range, considering the experience that includes the food, ambiance, service, and dessert cart, I believe the lunch offers a very high level of satisfaction.Perfect for anniversaries, dates, mother-daughter lunches, or as a treat for special occasions. Anyone who loves a vibrant restaurant will surely adore it. It was truly an outstanding three-star experience, and I look forward to visiting again in a different season. Less

I was taken to L'OSIER, a Michelin three-star French restaurant that I've always admired! ♩Inside the restaurant, photography is prohibited, so I didn't take many pictures. However, when the dessert plate was served, the staff kindly asked if I wanted to take a photo, and we captured a lovely two-shot together.Every dish was truly beautiful, and I was internally thrilled! I tried to maintain my composure and enjoy the meal gracefully. But when it came to the dessert cart, I couldn't hide my eagerness and ended up choosing quite a few treats.The portion sizes were quite generous, and I felt more full than I ever have after a French meal. Honestly, I was at the point of being uncomfortably full.But even before the dessert cart, there was a dessert plate and bite-sized sweets, so it was truly abundant! It was the best!It was a blissful moment that I will never forget (ᐡ •͈ ·̫ •͈ ᐡ)♡ Less

To experience the pinnacle of dining in Ginza, I visited the renowned L'OSIER.In short, everything was perfect. It was an absolutely wonderful experience deserving of a flawless five-star rating.The excitement began even before stepping through the entrance. The staff's meticulous care and hospitality were truly exceptional, and they kindly took commemorative photos for us both before and after our meal.Upon entering, we were first seated in luxurious sofas to relax. Then, when our names were called, we descended the beautiful spiral staircase to the main dining area, an exhilarating experience unique to this place.Every dish that arrived was of the highest quality. The beauty of each plate, the delicate flavors, and the impeccable service were all outstanding.It was so magnificent that my humble words cannot fully express it. Simply put, it was an incredibly luxurious and happy time.Both my stomach and heart, as well as all my senses, were completely satisfied, leaving an unforgettable mark of a truly special experience. Thank you very much for this blissful moment.It was a great meal! Less

《A Delightful Early Summer at L'OSIER♡》After a while since my last visit, I was able to return once again. The previous time was during the vibrant spring season, but now the hot days are starting to increase, marking the arrival of summer ingredients. The decorations featured sunflowers this time.As always, the interior was calm and bright, uplifting my spirits. The staff were all cheerful and welcoming, making me feel relaxed and at ease.♪Every dish was wonderfully delicious as usual, but this time, the amuse-bouche gazpacho and the scallop appetizer particularly stood out to me.Although the gazpacho is categorized as an amuse-bouche, it had a strong presence and generous portion. The rich gazpacho soup was topped with tomato mousse, and inside was a refreshing tomato sorbet, with micro tomatoes adding a delightful texture. Each bite offered a different flavor experience.☆The scallop appetizer featured a smooth avocado mousse paired perfectly with the juiciness of the shellfish, and the topping of sea urchin added a lovely accent. The fruity notes of passion fruit were refreshing, and the mousse was light and enjoyable until the very end.Additionally, the flavor of the girolle mushroom duxelles that accompanied the main meat was impressive, and I also enjoyed the herbal sorbet in the grand dessert, which was a nice touch. (^.^) One regret I have is that I couldn't indulge in the dessert cart of friandises as much as I wanted due to being full... but I thoroughly enjoyed my meal!☆I appreciated the thoughtful service from the staff, which always adds to the experience. Delicious food brings happiness, and I look forward to my next visit.*Note: A memo of the dishes I had that day_φ(･_･ (All-Free)【AMUSE-BOUCHE】‥Yogurt-flavored tuile, fennel, red daikon, ginger sablé, pan-fried meric, turmeric, feta cheese, Italian parsley, dill, pistachio, zucchini, olive, gazpacho, white tomato mousse, tomato sorbet, paprika purée, micro tomatoes, basil oil, pistachio, chickpea panisse, freshly fried.【LA SAINT JACQUES DE SANRIKU JUSTE MARINÉE EN PÉTALES, LANGUES D'OURSINS, POINTE DE CAVIAR OSCIÈTRE < PRESSÉ > DE LÉGUMES】‥Marinated scallops, avocado mousse, surrounded by marinated white cucumber, topped with sea urchin, caviar, passion fruit, snap peas, and scallop mousse with caviar, using scallop jus in the vinaigrette.【LA CÔTE DEVEAU DE BRETAGNE ENTRANCHE GRILLÉE】‥Grilled veal from Brittany, stuffed with girolle mushroom duxelles, caramelized long red and green peppers, and cresson gnocchi, served with a herb and cognac sauce.【PRÉ DESSERT】‥Champagne and lime sorbet, panna cotta with alcohol, melon sauce, fresh melon and mint, plum tart, lychee and raspberry, hojicha rice powder, strawberry dome.【LA CERISE ET L'ESTRAGON】‥Vanilla mousse, cherry compote, port wine sauce, herbal sorbet.【CHARIOT DE FRIANDISES】‥Lime and gin chocolate, pink pepper bonbon, hazelnut rum cake.【CAFÉ】‥Fresh mint herbal tea.MENU >AMUSE-BOUCHELA SAINT JACQUES DE SANRIKUJUSTE MARINÉE EN PÉTALES, LANGUES D'OURSINS, POINTE DE CAVIAR OSCIÈTRE DE LÉGUMES, PULPE DE FRUITS DE LA PASSIONVINAIGRETTE D'UN JUS DES BARBES CARAMÉLISÉESLightly marinated Sanriku scallops with petals, sea urchin, and Oscietra caviar, served with vegetable "pressé" and a passion fruit accent, using vinaigrette made from caramelized scallop siphons.LA CÔTE DEVEAU DE BRETAGNEENTRANCHE GRILLÉE, FARCIE D'UNE DUXELLE DE GIROLLES GNOCCHI DE CRESSON, PIMENT LONG ROUGE ET VERT JUS AUX HERBES FRAICHES RELEVÉ D'UNE POINTE DE COGNACGrilled veal from Brittany, stuffed with girolle mushroom duxelles, cresson gnocchi, red and green Fushimi peppers, served with a fresh herb and cognac sauce.PRÉ DESSERTLA CERISE ET L'ESTRAGONCherries/Port wine with almond and tarragon accents.CHARIOT DE FRIANDISESDessert cart of friandises.CAFÉCoffee.Belles Gourmandes JPY 21,000 (tax included, service charge separate)Non-Alcohol Beer JPY 1,000 Less

I was invited by a friend to this restaurant, which is known for being hard to book, so I seized the opportunity to join.There are three course options, and we chose the recommended JPY 25,000 course with wine pairings.The dishes were a delight for all the senses. I still can’t comprehend how both the crispy skin and the moist flesh of the fish and meat can coexist. What an art form… There were no supporting elements, including sauces, that detracted from the main dishes.The wine selection was outstanding, and I was truly moved by how well the pairings complemented the food.The portions were quite generous, so I found myself quite full by the time dessert arrived. At the end, since my birthday was approaching, my friend surprised me with a celebration.The service from the staff was exceptional; they were attentive yet friendly, creating a relaxed atmosphere that made me feel at home.For me, it was an incredibly luxurious lunch, and everything—food, service, ambiance—was the best I’ve ever experienced.If I ever have the chance to return, I would love to come back. Less

This restaurant is notoriously difficult to book, but I happened to check Table Check and found an opening for Saturday lunch, so I decided to visit.Lunch is significantly more affordable than dinner, and I ordered the JPY 25,000 course along with a pairing. The pairing included Japanese sake such as Aramasa, which was quite satisfying.The dishes served were all of a high standard and incredibly delicious. I felt it truly represented the pinnacle of classical French cuisine. It has a grand maison vibe, and while a dress code is required, I believe that adds to the overall elegance of the experience.

I skipped breakfast to be in perfect condition for the summer menu. The appetizers were intriguing, with surprises emerging as I dug in with my spoon, and the variety of textures was fascinating. The transition from the rockfish to the Aomori duck was seamless, and it paired well with the non-alcoholic nectar I chose. As I observed the main dish, the duck, the manager, Mr. Uchibori, noticed my right elbow was raised a bit, possibly indicating I was concerned about the knife's dullness, so he quickly brought a replacement. I was both impressed and slightly intimidated; I couldn't let my guard down. I suspect the Puyiforcat knife is well-maintained, and it was probably just my poor posture. It was a delightful three hours filled with laughter. Less

The food was delicious, but given the price, it’s expected to be good, so my evaluation goes beyond just that. Here are some points of comparison with other French restaurants:▼ Positives:- The presentation was beautiful and vibrant, showcasing creativity and making it interesting.- The food was tasty.- The cheese and chocolate cart was very stylish, and everything looked delicious (and it was!).- The location had a lively atmosphere.▼ Negatives:- The portions were excessively large.… It wasn’t just that each dish was big, but the number of dishes served was overwhelming, leaving me quite full even by the time the appetizers were served. By the time the main course arrived, I had to eat while being very conscious of my stomach.I would appreciate it if portion adjustments could be made at the time of reservation or during the meal.- There were too many soufflé dishes.… This is purely a matter of personal preference. While they were interesting, I find that soufflés are generally not very tasty, and having so many of them made me feel like I was eating air. I’m not a fan, so it made my stomach feel uneasy.- Many dishes were quite rich in flavor.… There were several dishes that I found to be overly seasoned. It wasn’t just a hint of strong flavor as an accent; many dishes were overwhelmingly rich!- The space was quiet yet cramped.… The interior was quite small. The circular layout and lack of windows made it stylish but lacking in openness. The sounds of dishes and conversations echoed around, making it hard to have a private conversation due to the close proximity to other diners.- I felt the staff's gaze.While it’s expected in a French restaurant, the circular layout allowed me to feel the eyes of 4-5 staff members constantly when seated on the sofa side. They were checking my partner’s plate closely from behind, which was fine since my partner was facing away from the hall, but from my perspective, it was quite noticeable. (I wish they would check more discreetly.) Everyone was very nice, but I thought that if I were to come here with a date seated on the sofa side, it could lead to an awkward three hours due to the constant feeling of being watched.- Pricing.I wish the service charge was included in the course price from the start. We planned to spend JPY 90,000 for two, but the service charge of JPY 18,000 was added at the end, making it a guaranteed JPY 110,000 regardless of how much we drank. I believe many affluent customers come here, but even so, it should be clearly stated from the beginning.The atmosphere was too quiet for conversation, making it a bit uncomfortable, and the lack of windows meant there was no night view, giving it a somewhat closed-off impression, which didn’t create a romantic vibe. Therefore, if I were to visit again, it would likely be to seek out new flavors on my own. Less

This restaurant left me in awe with dishes that truly deserve a detailed explanation.The combination of corn soup, grilled corn, espresso, and lemongrass was so surprising that I questioned my understanding when I first heard it, but it turned out to be the best soup of my life. The corn soup, paired with vanilla ice cream, created a refreshing creamy cold soup perfect for hot summer days, and the salt sprinkled on the ice cream added a delightful accent. I can't find the words to describe how incredible the flavors of lemongrass, corn, and coffee were together; it was simply unbelievable. I could drink a whole pot of it!The venison steak was cooked to perfection, leaving me speechless; it was an exquisite dish. The accompanying cabbage was sweet, which didn't quite suit my taste, but the tenderness of the meat was so remarkable that it didn't matter at all.The dessert, a melon ice cream with champagne and Hakkaisan jelly, was a bit strong for someone like me who doesn't drink alcohol.The apricot dessert, which I couldn't taste any apricot in, was interesting. It was overshadowed by the lavender, and then a flambéed peach started next to me, leaving me completely confused. I was really looking forward to it since I love apricots, so it was disappointing.The rose amber candy from the dessert cart was incredibly delicious, and I ended up eating three of them! I wish they would sell them at Shiseido.I appreciated that they accommodated my menu requests.However, I was disappointed that the flambé started right next to the desserts, the service took quite a long time, and the staff's reactions were slow.My experience at Robuchon was so perfect that I can't help but compare it, which makes my evaluation stricter. At Robuchon, they perfectly gauge the pace at which guests eat and serve dishes at the best timing, explaining how to enjoy each plate in detail. In comparison, the timing here didn't meet my expectations, and I wished for more explanations, so the service felt a bit lacking.Additionally, while many places promptly attend to you with just a slight movement, here, I had to pull out my chair for them to come over, which was quite disappointing.Despite the slight disappointment in service, the impact of the corn soup was extraordinary, making it an unforgettable day.

I visited L'OSIER again for my friend's birthday celebration, just like last year.We enjoyed the JPY 45,000 dinner course, which included:- 4 types of amuse-bouche- Chilled corn soup and corn financier- Akafujis salmon with caviar- Smoked fillet of Akafujis salmon- Poached Akaza shrimp with bamboo charcoal pasta- Pan-fried Nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) coated with quinoa- Roasted duck breast and confit of duck thigh- Cheese cart- Dessert 1: Melon (fruit and sorbet)- Dessert 2: 4 types of small cakes- Dessert 3: Choose from about 7 desserts; I had a peach dessert, while my friend chose a Miyazaki mango dessert.- Petit fours cartThe first half of the meal featured refreshing and light dishes, while the second half offered more substantial fare. The desserts were also plentiful.I left feeling completely satisfied.The bread was incredibly delicious. I wished I could have eaten more, but unfortunately, I can't indulge like I used to in my younger days.The olive oil served with the bread is made from olives that are over 1,000 years old, which is quite impressive.From the reservation process to the moment we left, everything was a wonderful experience.It was a fantastic birthday celebration. Thank you very much.Although it's not easy to come here often, since I've visited in summer two years in a row, I would like to try coming during the colder months as well. Less

It's been years since my last visit, but I've been here several times before the Michelin Guide for Tokyo started. This restaurant is a representative grand maison of Tokyo, and it holds special memories for me. I've had the pleasure of enjoying Olivier's dishes a few times, but this time, I didn't experience that same sense of excitement I felt when I first tasted the food at L'OSIER, which made me feel like the cuisine had transformed.I opted for the basic lunch course, but perhaps it felt different because I usually choose the highest-priced course?I forgot to take a photo of the meat dish, but the beautiful colors, delicate seasoning, and perfect cooking were all present. Each dish had a blend of tradition and innovation, and everything was delicious. I look forward to visiting again someday. Less

I visited L'OSIER for the first time in a while.I ordered the JPY 36,000 course, changing the main dish from duck to fillet of Aka beef, while my companion had the JPY 25,000 duck main course.Every dish was impressive, as expected from L'OSIER. However, a nearby gourmet gentleman spent about an hour and a half loudly discussing his opinions on each dish with the waitstaff, and it raised questions about the Michelin three-star rating when the higher staff didn’t intervene.I wanted to quietly enjoy the meal, so I left feeling quite disappointed... (The anticipation I had for a month and the enjoyable time I expected were ruined.)It seems unfair that the chefs, who create such wonderful dishes, are not recognized due to the atmosphere in the dining area.

Due to the heat, I took a taxi from Ginza Station, which is just a meter away. As I approached the entrance, the door opened at the perfect moment, and the doorman welcomed me. I waited comfortably on a cool sofa until it was time to go up to the dining floor via the elevator.Every dish was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The cooking was perfectly executed! This ranks among the top French meals I've ever had!The finishing touches on the dishes were done at the table by the staff. There were so many desserts that I had to adjust my appetite by eating less bread.If you want to enjoy a variety of desserts from the dessert cart at the end, you really have to pace yourself. The chocolate, in particular, was outstanding.The staff were all friendly and approachable, which was great. It seems the menu changes every two months, so I definitely want to visit again. Less

I made a reservation about two months in advance for a special occasion, but on the day of my visit, the restaurant was fully booked. I was placed on a waiting list, and about two weeks later, I received a call saying a table had opened up.Since I planned to enjoy the meal without alcohol, I drove there (they can reserve parking if you call ahead). I was guided through a car elevator to the underground parking and then directly to my table from there.The table was in a private room that is usually reserved for larger groups, likely due to the cancellation. It had direct access from the parking lot, and there was a separate restroom for our use, accommodating up to 10 people, which felt quite luxurious for just two of us. Honestly, it was a bit overwhelming.We chose the middle course and started with a toast using non-alcoholic sparkling wine.The first dish was an amuse-bouche featuring freshly baked tart topped with freshly whipped cream and vegetables. The combination of crispy and creamy textures, along with the delightful aroma, made it incredibly delicious. Usually, one of the tarts has a slightly spicy flavor, so I recommend eating them in the order they are presented.They also served bread with a wonderfully fragrant olive oil that can be purchased at L'OSIER. You can eat as much as you like, but if you indulge too much, you might not have room for dessert, so I had to exercise some restraint.Next was a corn soup topped with corn ice cream, espresso powder, and brown sugar sauce. It came with a not-too-sweet corn financier, which we enjoyed alongside the soup. The corn had a refreshing sweetness and a toasty flavor, reminiscent of summer, rather than the deep richness typical of autumn.Then came the first appetizer: "Marinated Botan Shrimp and White Shrimp with Christian: Lemongrass-scented Vegetable Jelly, Grilled Zucchini Tartare, Shellfish Mousseline, Fennel Velouté, and Fresh Herb Oil." Inside the cold sauce were raw shrimp and an orange mousse, topped with jelly and crispy fried white shrimp, garnished with caviar. As I dug in with a spoon, the sweetness of the shrimp combined with the richness of the mousse and the refreshing jelly, complemented by the saltiness of the white shrimp and caviar, created a surprisingly delightful flavor. By the way, there was more than it appeared at first glance.I ordered a refreshing non-alcoholic cocktail made with fresh lychee from Miyazaki and myoga (Japanese ginger). It had a summer-like freshness, with the sharpness of the myoga taking center stage over the sweetness.The second dish was "Pan-fried Kinmedai Wrapped in Bread: Canneloni with Aonori-scented Eggplant, Red Summer Vegetable Bonbons, Lettuce Coulis with Lemon Oil, and Tomato Emulsion." The menu listed it as Kasago, but due to supply issues, they served Kinmedai instead. The thin layer of bread on top provided a delightful crunch. The green sauce in the center was described as lettuce on the menu, but the explanation mentioned it was a paste made from komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach). The white foamy sauce was made from pure tomato extract whipped into a froth. The Kinmedai was perfectly cooked, tender and fluffy, and the sauce added a light acidity, making it a substantial yet summery dish. The side of eggplant wrapped around rich ingredients (I couldn't remember all the details) was also well-seasoned and delicious. The small tomatoes served alongside were rich in flavor, combining the acidity of tomatoes with a concentrated umami.The main dish was "Roasted Silver Duck from Aomori Prefecture: Confit of Thigh, Anise-flavored Butternut Mousseline, Figs Poached in Red Wine and Lightly Dried, Fig Purée with Fermented Cocoa, and Spiced Jus." It was presented under a silver lid, just like in the dramas (they asked if I wanted to take a photo, but I decided against it since it would just capture an old man holding a camera). When the lid was lifted, a subtle star anise aroma wafted out. The duck breast was roasted to perfection, and the confit was rich in flavor. The robust sauce paired well with the slightly gamey duck, creating a satisfying taste that made me savor each bite. The side of butternut squash and figs (which looked like small yellow and red blobs in the photo) had a surprising flavor.The pre-dessert was a sorbet made from Setoka citrus. It was served on a large plate, but the portion was just a single bite. Then, a petite four arrived, featuring an impressive blueberry tartlet. The blueberries were arranged in a petal-like pattern with incredible precision.The main dessert was "Fruity Red Snow: Accented with Ginger and Hibiscus." It consisted of a red sorbet, ice cream, fresh raspberries, strawberries, small blackberries, and white meringue, all drizzled with a red berry sauce. The ginger accent was subtle, resulting in a fresh and light dessert. The dish was served in a large Arita porcelain bowl, inspired by the image of a camellia flower.Finally, there was a wagon of friandises. Since I had opted for non-alcoholic drinks and saved on bread, I was able to choose quite a few. I love marshmallows, so I took a lot of those, along with chocolates, canelés, financiers, candied fruits, and amber sugar. Choosing and eating these was a lot of fun. I was also able to refill my coffee as much as I wanted (I switched to espresso midway), leaving me completely satisfied until the end.Overall, the course beautifully expressed summer with its balance of rich flavors and refreshing lightness. As always, the staff's attentiveness and consideration were remarkable (I can only imagine the extensive training and practice they undergo), making it a place where I can always enjoy my meal with peace of mind. It was a great meal! Less

Three months in advance is needed to secure a reservation at this Michelin three-star restaurant, which only heightens the anticipation during the wait. Contrary to its "ritualistic" reputation, the atmosphere of the space and service is bright and soft. It embodies the glamour and tranquility typical of Ginza, allowing for a relaxing experience (unlike the more formal and tense ambiance at Le Saison in the Imperial Hotel, which has its own merits).The dishes are beautifully delicate, starting with the amuse-bouche. Three small finger foods are arranged like a Christmas wreath, and despite their tiny size, they deliver a layered texture and flavor experience in the mouth. The next amuse-bouche is a summer-inspired gazpacho made with Amela tomatoes. It is vibrant and beautiful, featuring the sweetness of tomatoes while incorporating various textures and flavors.The rest follows the menu. Each dish unfolds a world of complexity, yet the sauces are light and airy, defying the traditional image of L'OSIER as a classic establishment. When requesting wine pairings, two types are served with each dish.- "Lightly marinated Sanriku scallop petals, served with sea urchin and Osetra caviar, accompanied by a vegetable "pressé" and a vinaigrette made with caramelized scallop siphons and a hint of passion fruit."The pairing of sea urchin and caviar was surprisingly better with Japanese sake (the special No.6 L'OSIER bottle from Aramasa Brewery).- "Grilled sweet sea bream from Uwajima, with artichokes and green asparagus étuvée, ravioli infused with the aroma of verbena, served with two sauces: roasted fish jus and a sauce inspired by the Argenteuil style."The suggested Chardonnay pairings were good, but an unexpectedly rich and slightly aged Washington wine (quite rare) worked surprisingly well.- "Grilled veal loin from Brittany, stuffed with girolle mushroom duxelles, served with watercress gnocchi, red and green Fushimi peppers, and a jus infused with fresh herbs and cognac."The meat is incredibly tender, sandwiched with girolle mushrooms, and the aroma of the intricately crafted peppers is impressive.After adding cheese and pairing it with a sweet wine, we moved on to dessert. The main dessert featured cherries and port wine, accented with almonds and tarragon. Before that, we were treated to refreshing sorbets and mini tarts, which were quite satisfying. The trolley of friandises offered endless options, but I could only manage to request a few varieties of chocolate and fruit jelly.Considering the intricacy and deliciousness of the dishes, the ambiance of the space, and the wine pairings, the pricing feels quite reasonable.

I visited this restaurant with a business associate.As one of Japan's representative grand maisons, the building is impressive.There is a doorman at the entrance.Upon entering, we waited briefly in the waiting room before being escorted to the hall downstairs.The seating arrangement provides enough distance, so conversations from neighboring tables are not intrusive.The dining experience starts with staggered timings, and while there were only about two groups at first, it eventually became fully booked.We began by ordering drinks, and the wine pairing options range from JPY 40,000 to a staggering JPY 200,000.While the JPY 200,000 option is said to be worth its price, it’s quite a leap! (laughs)The dishes are truly French, each meticulously prepared and delicious.The lobster and caviar dish was particularly exquisite!However, the main meat dish was somewhat disappointing.Although it wasn’t Wagyu and thus of different quality, it was still a bit of a letdown.The cheese and dessert cart came around, and even though we were full, we couldn’t resist ordering more, and everything was delightful until the end.The staff's service was exceptional, making for an enjoyable dining experience.With the ambiance of a Michelin three-star restaurant, I believe it’s an ideal place for special occasions or dining with someone important!

I finally visited L'OSIER, a place I had wanted to try for a long time. From the moment I stepped inside, I was enveloped in a sophisticated atmosphere, making for a truly special experience. The dishes were not only visually stunning, but each plate featured delicate combinations of ingredients and sauces that left me in awe until the very end. The service was attentive and pleasant, embodying the satisfaction one expects from a three-star French restaurant. It’s the perfect spot for anniversaries or as a treat for oneself. I look forward to visiting again in a different season. ✨ Less

I finally visited L'OSIER, a place I had been curious about for a long time.We started with a delightful amuse-bouche. Its vibrant appearance was just the beginning; each bite offered a different flavor, raising my expectations from the very start.Next, we enjoyed a refreshing tomato gazpacho, perfect for the hot season.The lobster dish was prepared in three different styles, allowing us to experience a variety of textures and flavors all in one plate.The standout for me was the scallop and caviar dish. Not only was it visually stunning, but the chewy texture combined with a perfect balance of richness and delicacy was exquisite.The most memorable dish was the red sea bream. Although it was served in a broth, the depth of flavor was more concentrated than I had imagined, making its presence felt from the very first bite. The umami of the fish combined with the sweetness of the vegetables created a dish that stood out in the course, and personally, it might have been my favorite of the day.The main course, the loin, was incredibly tender with perfect cooking. The sauce had a relatively light impression, so I asked for some salt, which enhanced the natural flavor of the meat, making it even more to my liking.After the meal, we enjoyed a cheese cart service. I love Comté cheese, and this time there was even a high-end Comté from Hokkaido, which really excited me! Following a palate cleanser, we were presented with a dessert featuring cherries as the star ingredient.The savarin made with an entire box of cherries was breathtaking, and the beauty of the cherries spread across the plate was impressive. It was not just sweet; the freshness of the fruit was also evident, keeping me engaged until the very end.Even the mignardises were crafted with care, making for a highly satisfying course from start to finish.The wine selection was quite extensive, with glasses starting around JPY 2,500 for both white and red, and champagnes starting around JPY 3,000. They offered a wide range, including renowned Burgundy wines, rare champagnes, and sweet wines, making it a great choice for wine lovers.With exceptional food, service, and ambiance, L'OSIER truly lives up to its reputation. It’s a wonderful place I would love to visit again on a special occasion. Less

A grand maison that continues to reign at the pinnacle of Japanese French cuisine.What first surprised me was the ability to choose from seven different types of champagne to start. They even offer crystal glasses, and the selection of glass wines is of the highest caliber, allowing for a truly enjoyable experience.The dishes are, of course, exceptional, with such complex and delicate compositions that words cannot fully capture their essence. The sommelier's extensive knowledge is impressive; he answers any questions without being overbearing, making the conversation itself enjoyable.I cannot forget the exquisite cherries we added, as well as the stunning dessert cart. The way they naturally encourage you to "help yourself as much as you like" creates a comfortable atmosphere.There is no excessive tension, yet the service is attentive to every detail. This is what it means to be first-class; it was an incredibly luxurious and happy experience. Less

I had been looking forward to visiting this representative grand maison of Japan, and it far exceeded my expectations, providing a truly wonderful experience.First, I was surprised by the selection of aperitif champagnes available. There were about six options, and I was thrilled to see Salon among them. The luxury of enjoying champagne, which is not often served by the glass, right from the start of the course is something unique to L'OSIER.The food was, of course, exceptional, but what stood out was the pairing that included not only wine but also Japanese sake. The limited edition Kuro-ryu sake we had was surprisingly well-matched with the dishes, providing an experience that pleasantly challenged the notion that "French cuisine must be paired with wine." The incorporation of a distinctly Japanese sensibility in the pairings showcased the restaurant's depth.The tableware was also very impressive. At first glance, it appeared simple, but the refined design down to the smallest detail reflected the aesthetic sensibility that Shiseido has cultivated over the years. Some pieces featured designs reminiscent of kintsugi, expressing traditional Japanese beauty in a modern way, harmonizing beautifully with the dishes. It naturally evoked the phrase "French cuisine that Japan can be proud of."For dessert, I could choose from several options, and I selected a dish that used an entire box of cherries. It was a lavish use of seasonal fruit, with a perfect balance of sweetness, making it a splendid finale to the course. The joy of choosing until the end is another charm of L'OSIER.Above all, what left a lasting impression was the service. The explanations of the dishes, the gestures, and the attentiveness to guests were all natural and comfortable, making me realize what "the highest level of hospitality" truly means. While the atmosphere was formal, it was free from excessive tension, creating a space where one could genuinely enjoy the meal.This special restaurant harmonized not only the food but also the wine, tableware, ambiance, and service at a high level. As a representative grand maison of Japan, it is a place I believe many should visit at least once. I look forward to returning to enjoy a new course when the seasons change. Less
