Sézanne joins the three-star club

Sézanne at the Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi has become Japan's newest three-Michelin-starred restaurant, after the release of the Michelin Guide to Tokyo 2025.

An exemplary fine-dining destination, serving modern French cuisine under the guidance of Executive Chef Daniel Calvert, Sézanne had attained and maintained two stars for the last two years. The third star will come as no surprise to many. It brings the total number of three-star restaurants in Tokyo to 12.

From southeast England, Calvert started his culinary journey at a young age entering the kitchen at just 16 at the The Ivy in London. From the beginning, Calvert aspired to culinary excellence and his ambition brought him across the Atlantic to work under Thomas Keller at Per Se, before travelling to Hong Kong and eventually Japan. Calvert's cooking is focused on the essentiality of ingredients, high precision and technique, and beautiful presentation. While still relatively young at 35 years of age, Calvert has shown astonishing artistry and a relentless consistency in his approach with a seemingly limitless potential to what he can achieve in the kitchen.

While Calvert and Sézanne shine at the pinnacle of the Michelin Guide to Tokyo 2025, one new two-star and 13 new one-star restaurants take the total number of starred restaurants in the city to 170, maintaining its place as the most starred city in the world.
