Tabelog ratingLocated in the polished dining room of the Four Seasons Hotel at Marunouchi, SÉZANNE (SEZANNE) offers a tightly curated modern French experience built around Japan's finest seasonal produce. The kitchen's philosophy is clear from the start, with showpiece amuses-bouches like a 48-month Comté gougère and exceptional malted-barley sourdough setting a high bar.
Guests consistently praise the impeccable technique and the balance of acidity and umami in every dish. Frequently named highlights include courses featuring Hokkaido shima ebi (striped shrimp), kinki or kinmedai fish, and a dramatic pigeon main. The bread service and butter are often singled out as memorable, and the wine and tea pairings are also highly regarded.
However, some aspects can be polarising. Several reviewers report issues with wine service, including unclear pricing that led to unexpectedly high bills. The restaurant enforces a very rigid policy on menu substitutions, with the venue's own listing stating they cannot accommodate requests related to allergies or dislikes. A few diners also found the pacing of the meal rushed or the service less warm than expected.
A meal here is a significant expense. Reviewers in 2024–2026 cited tasting menus like the 'Menu Sézanne' at around ¥57,000 and a shorter lunch 'Menu du Jour' at about ¥28,000. With wine, most parties should expect to spend in the ¥60,000–¥79,999 per person range. For diners seeking world-class French technique applied to Japanese ingredients, it offers strong value, but this diminishes if you have dietary restrictions or are not careful with the wine list.
