The Verdict
L'Osier is Shiseido's French restaurant at 7-5-5 Ginza, in the company's head-office building on Namiki-dori in Chuo-ku. It was established in 1973 and reopened in October 2013 under executive chef Olivier Chaignon, and it holds three Michelin stars in the 2026 Tokyo guide, its eighth straight year at the top rank. A 2025 interior refresh kept the room current without closing it.
Chaignon cooks producer-driven modern French: butter-poached disc abalone, grilled tilefish cooked with its scales intact, and Racan pigeon rôti, finished with a full pâtisserie and petits-fours service. Dinner courses run ¥22,000, ¥28,000 and ¥38,000, with lunch at ¥10,000 and ¥14,000, which makes it a destination table for a major celebration in the luxury heart of Ginza.
The Kitchen
Executive chef Olivier Chaignon, a third-generation French chef who took the post in 2013, leads L'Osier. The cooking is producer-driven modern French: butter-poached disc abalone, grilled tilefish cooked in its scales, and Racan pigeon rôti, closed by a full pâtisserie and petits-fours service. Dinner courses run ¥22,000, ¥28,000 and ¥38,000, with lunch from ¥10,000.
The Room
L'Osier sits in the Shiseido head-office building at 7-5-5 Ginza, on Namiki-dori in the luxury core of Ginza, Chuo-ku. The dining room, refreshed in 2025, is a formal, classical French space dressed for an occasion, calm and quiet, suited to a once-a-year celebration rather than a casual lunch.
Best for an Anniversary or Proposal
For an anniversary or a proposal, L'Osier delivers a destination experience: a three-star French kitchen, a formal Ginza room and a dessert service to match. Book the dinner course well ahead, dress for the occasion, and treat it as the centrepiece of a celebration rather than a quick meal.
Not For
L'Osier is not for a quick, casual or budget meal. It is a formal three-star French dining room with a jacket-suggested dress code and top-end pricing, so it does not suit a relaxed drop-in, a fast working lunch, or a guest looking for a low-key, inexpensive dinner in Ginza.
Reservations
L'Osier takes reservations online and a three-star Ginza table books out well ahead, so plan early. Dinner courses run ¥22,000, ¥28,000 and ¥38,000, with lunch at ¥10,000 and ¥14,000, before service. It sits in the Shiseido building at 7-5-5 Ginza; a jacket is suggested for the formal room.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is L'Osier worth it?
L'Osier is worth it for a destination three-Michelin-star French meal in Ginza. Chef Olivier Chaignon's producer-driven cooking and the restaurant's full dessert service make it a celebration table, and the lunch courses from ¥10,000 are a gentler way in. It is not for a casual, quick or budget meal, given the formality and pricing.
Does L'Osier have Michelin stars?
Yes. L'Osier holds three Michelin stars in the 2026 Tokyo guide, its eighth consecutive year at three stars, a rank it has held since the 2019 guide. Chef Olivier Chaignon leads the kitchen in the Shiseido building at 7-5-5 Ginza. For more top-tier Tokyo tables, see our Tokyo dining guide.
How much does L'Osier cost?
Dinner courses run ¥22,000, ¥28,000 and ¥38,000 per guest, with lunch at ¥10,000 and ¥14,000, tax included and before the service charge. The price reflects a three-star French dining room in Ginza, so dinner sits firmly at the top end, while the lunch courses offer a more accessible way to experience the kitchen.
What should I order at L'Osier?
L'Osier serves set French courses rather than à la carte, so choose a dinner course at ¥22,000, ¥28,000 or ¥38,000, or a lunch from ¥10,000.
