Saucer

Restaurant Details

"Saucer" is a French verb that means to pour or wipe off the sauce, fittingly the role chef Gunji Kazuma began with when he entered the culinary world: the person responsible for sauces. After cutting his teeth at Tokyo's Michelin-starred Esquisse under the legendary Lionel Beccat, Gunji continued his training in Lyon and Paris, honing his craft with a focus on precision and technique.

Beneath his cheerful demeanor, which lights up as he interacts with guests, Gunji’s serious side emerges when he’s at work in the kitchen. The heart of his cooking at Saucer is the triple consomme, the foundation of nearly every dish on the menu.

This consomme undergoes a meticulous three-day process, where chicken is strained three times, reducing 20 kilograms of meat to just 3 kilograms of rich broth. Its flavor is woven throughout the meal — introduced at the beginning as a simple soup for direct tasting, and then used subtly in various dishes. Appetizers like horse mackerel with lemongrass jelly tread the line of high gastronomy, while the omi duck steak, prepared without binders, takes a step back toward earthy, traditional flavors.

Countertop dining creates an intimate experience, allowing guests to watch the chef at work. Warm lighting sets the mood, enhancing the elegant yet inviting atmosphere for those ready to savor Gunji’s take on contemporary French cuisine in Ebisu.
