Saucer

I was looking for a delicious French restaurant to go to when my sister was coming to Tokyo for work, and I found this place. She really likes Esquith, and was looking forward to the French cuisine prepared by the chef who worked there. Originally, it was quite difficult to enter, but now you can make reservations online, which is great! I took the opportunity to order a pairing wine + champagne to go with the full course. After all, when I'm with my gourmet sister, I want to eat and drink deliciously. Incidentally, the name of the restaurant, ``sauce,'' refers to the concept of using bread to scoop up the sauce on the plate and eating it perfectly until the end. That's why the bread is so delicious. However, be careful: it's so delicious that if you refill it, you may end up not being able to finish the course until the very last minute!
Every dish was so delicious that I could eat every last drop of sauce. There are counters and tables, but if you want to enjoy your meal, you should definitely go to the counter. I highly recommend it, as you'll have the opportunity to ask the chef lots of questions about anything you're curious about.

The restaurant has 4 counter seats and 8 table seats.
A modern and chic space where you can relax and spend time.

Chef Gunji was in charge of saucé at a French restaurant in Paris, France → Michelin 1 star restaurant Maison Clovis in Lyon → Ginza Esquith, gaining experience.
A one-of-a-kind modern French cuisine based on the theme of the quintessence of French sauce. The taste of each dish was completely different from what I had imagined, and I was like, "Wow, this is delicious!"
Consommé, the essence of sauce, is a triple consommé soup that is carefully prepared in three steps over three days.

Only 3L of soup can be extracted from 20kg of branded chicken. The ultimate consommé!
It is also the base of all Sauce dishes.

We were talking about wanting to eat delicious French food, and a gourmet person gave us some recommendations. It was a reward for all the hard work we've put in this year.

It is located in the basement of a building heading towards Shibuya from the five-way intersection in Ebisu West. There's no sign posted, so it's a hidden gem that only those in the know know that there is a French restaurant in the basement of this building.Press 101 on the intercom, go down to the basement, and enter the store. There is a counter and spacious table seats. We took seats at the counter, which had a sense of realism.

The chef welcomed us warmly. Chef Gunji, who trained at a famous French restaurant, was warm and approachable, a comforting presence, and he explained things in easy-to-understand terms while cooking at the counter.

The restaurant's name, Saucer, means to put sauce on or wipe off sauce, and is particular about sauce.

The inside of the store was filled with the pleasant smell of homemade bread being baked just in time for the store, and I was shown some bread that had just been baked. The delicious-looking bread with herbs will get you excited.
