L’osier, Tokyo – Three-Star Michelin

Michelin 3 Star L'osier

L’osier has received the highest rating from Michelin Guide since the authority in gourmet recognizes excellency in Asia in year 2008 and 2009, making them one of the 6 restaurants in Japan that receives 3 Stars rating from Michelin Guide 2 years in a row.

I was treated to L’osier for their le menu du déjeuner with another 3 friends. It took us 6 weeks to get the booking, naturally we went with high expectation.

I find this particular review the hardest to write. In my effort to be diplomatic, I find myself lost of words.

In general, I was more than disappointed. Pretty? Very. Haute Cuisine? No.
The desserts are a bit of a joke for a Michelin 3 star.

I’ll just say.. you’re better off with those 1-star like Chez Tomo, Miravile, L’enfant – creative, top quality ingredients, minus the Mumbo Jumbo of overly-sugared candies, rice crispy, and utterly uninviting Macarons. Enough said.
