SÉZANNE, the French restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi, has achieved the coveted 3 Michelin stars in the "Michelin Guide Tokyo 2025".
Since its opening in July 2021, SÉZANNE has rapidly ascended the ranks of culinary excellence. It earned its first Michelin star within just six months of opening and maintained 2 stars for two consecutive years. Now, in just over three years since its inception, it has attained the highest accolade of 3 stars. This remarkable achievement is a testament to the exceptional skill and passion of Executive Chef Daniel Calvert and his team, as well as their meticulous attention to customer service.
Expressing his deep gratitude for this honor, Executive Chef Daniel Calvert stated, "We are immensely proud that the Michelin Guide has recognized our passion for cuisine and service. This success is the result of the dedicated efforts of our entire team and would not have been possible without the support of our guests and partners." Jens Wycisk, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi, also praised the team's accomplishment, saying, "What makes SÉZANNE special is the heart poured into every process, from ingredient selection to preparation and the moment of serving our guests."
The allure of SÉZANNE lies in Executive Chef Daniel Calvert's bold yet delicate, light French cuisine. Using seasonal ingredients sourced from across Japan, each dish is a work of art that innovatively reinterprets traditional French cuisine. The dining experience is further enhanced by the beautiful and diverse desserts created by Pastry Chef Patrick Thibaut. Additionally, the wine list carefully curated by Sommelier Nobuhide Otsuka and an attractive champagne selection perfectly complement the flavors of the dishes.
The restaurant's ambiance, designed by renowned Hong Kong architect André Fu, also contributes to the exceptional dining experience. The space is divided into three areas: the "Salon" for enjoying aperitifs while admiring the urban landscape, the contemporary "Main Dining" with a view of the vibrant kitchen, and the "Chef's Table" private room where guests can closely observe the chef's techniques.
SÉZANNE's accolades extend beyond the Michelin Guide. It was named the Best Restaurant in the "Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2024" and ranked 15th in the "World's 50 Best Restaurants 2024", solidifying its international reputation.
Behind these achievements lies Executive Chef Daniel Calvert's rich experience and unique perspective. Having honed his skills in world-renowned culinary capitals such as London, Paris, New York, and Hong Kong, Daniel is known as an open-minded chef without prejudice towards different cultures. His experiences at 3-Michelin-starred restaurants like "Per Se" in New York and "Epicure at Le Bristol" in Paris have formed the foundation of his culinary philosophy.
SÉZANNE's attainment of 3 Michelin stars showcases the richness and diversity of Tokyo's culinary culture to the world. In the future, more gastronomes from around the globe are expected to visit Tokyo to experience the array of artistic dishes unfolding in this extraordinary space.
