The story
LE BOURGUIGNON is a French restaurant at 3-3-1 Nishiazabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo, listed as Michelin Recommended for 2026. The kitchen is led by chef Kikuchi, and the restaurant is marking its 26th anniversary this year.
Chef Kikuchi has built the menu on long-running French dishes alongside seasonal additions. A 26th anniversary lunch course brings together his specialities, and it is offered mainly through online reservation. Offal appears in every course of that set, so guests who avoid it should check first.
The specialities include a carrot mousse with sea urchin and consommé jelly, a boudin noir terrine, and ayu sweetfish risotto. Japanese black beef bourguignon and red bell pepper pudding also feature. The Gault&Millau rating of 15 for 2026 reflects the same kitchen, and the wine list is organized by Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rhône, Japan, Loire, and Alsace, with magnums available.
