French haute cuisine in Tokyo is led by Japanese chefs who filter classical technique through local produce. Florilege in Azabudai Hills runs Hiroyasu Kawate's vegetable-led tasting at a communal counter, while L'Effervescence in Nishi-Azabu is Shinobu Namae's room sourcing the bulk of its produce from within Japan. Quintessence in Gotenyama takes it further still, with no menu and no choice, the chef deciding each day from the market.
