Est

Tokyo, Japan

Perched atop the glassy edifice of the Four Seasons Tokyo at Otemachi, elegant and contemporary French restaurant Est strives to reconstruct the concept of luxury through a lens of sustainability. French-born chef Guillaume Bracaval is all about transparency in his eco-conscious approach to fine dining – degustation menus offered at lunch and dinner are anchored to the rhythms of the changing seasons, with an emphasis on ingredients sourced from Japan’s small-scale fishers, hunters, foragers and artisan producers. Furthermore, as a material representation of the team's ethos, the kitchen remains visible to diners through a glass wall. Entering via a peachily lit corridor, diners encounter a light, airy dining room. Dishes are delightfully presented: an artichoke and tofu dumpling arrives coddled under glittering balls of caviar, while slivers of pearly kurosoi rock fish are cloaked in a zangy green fennel and dill oil sauce.
