About

Michelin one star and La Liste scores

Michelin awarded est one star in 2024 and 2026, while La Liste scored it 94.5 points in 2025 and 93 points in 2026. That sustained recognition frames it as a planned fine-dining meal.

Modern French with Japanese influences

Modern French with Japanese influences defines the kitchen, with French as the core cuisine. Signatures include peau de Soja and pumpkin pie with caviar, giving readers concrete reference points beyond the category.

Ōtemachi skyline, Four Seasons format

1 Chome-2-1 Ōtemachi puts est in Chiyoda City, and Four Seasons is the operating brand. Skyline views, quiet noise, formal service, and leisurely pacing suit a longer conversation-led lunch or dinner.
