“ESqUISSE” means “sketch” in French—evoking a spirit of unbounded creativity and artistic freedom. Located in the heart of Ginza, Tokyo, ESqUISSE pursues the essence of French gastronomy, offering a unique and refined gastronomic journey.

Since opening in June 2012, the restaurant has consistently maintained its prestigious two-star rating in the Michelin Guide Tokyo.

Executive Chef Lionel Beccat crafts each dish with deep reverence for ingredients and masterful technique. His creations transcend the boundaries of classical French cuisine, uniting innovation and philosophy in culinary works of art. By drawing out the inherent brilliance of hand-selected seasonal ingredients and presenting them with minimalist elegance, he transforms each course into a memorable harmony of flavor and artistry.

His cuisine is elevated further by the exquisite wine pairings curated by General Manager and Sommelier Eiji Wakabayashi, recipient of the newly established Sommelier Award in the Michelin Guide Tokyo 2025. Beyond his exceptional knowledge and refined curation, his profound understanding of winemaking allows him to shape the entire dining experience into something truly extraordinary.

At ESqUISSE, the pursuit of gastronomy extends beyond the plate. With a keen awareness of the planet’s future, the team listens to the voices of sustainable ingredients and redefines fine dining as a bridge between today’s pleasures and a more sustainable tomorrow.
