Esquisse

Tokyo, Japan

The name translates as 'sketch' in French, but nothing is left to chance in Corsican-born chef Lionel Beccat's precise Japanese-inspired French cuisine. Recent iterations of Beccat's set menus, which change daily, have featured such mouth-waterers as amuse-bouche of deep-fried shrimp with coriander sauce, grilled maitake and shiitake mushrooms with black truffle consommé, and duck consommé with dried duck meat. The surroundings are just as sophisticated as the cuisine: nine floors up in the upscale Ginza district.
