L'écrin Ginza

This French restaurant in Tokyo’s upmarket Ginza district has been drawing in customers for over 45 years. Like a Hollywood leading man, the restaurant has only become more distinguished with age. The atmosphere here is one of mature dignity. The current head chef Koji Watari aims for elegance in his dishes, and carries out complex balancing acts of flavor, perhaps best exemplified by the tuna tail tartare with horseradish cream, chorizo oil, and seaweed. There are four set menu meals to choose from, suitable for any budget or occasion. For classic French dining in an elegant setting, L’Ecrin is one of the best restaurants in Tokyo.
