"It’s no secret Tokyo has some of the best French cuisine outside of France, partly because local chefs study with the world's best, as Shinobu Namae at L’Effervescence did with Michel Bras and Heston Blumenthal. The restaurant has built a strong following with its use of premium produce, innate seasonal sensibility, and clear pride in good service, not to mention its tranquil location. Pro tip: Lunch is an especially good value." - Yukari Sakamoto, Robbie Swinnerton

"Chef Shinobu Namae refers to the foodstuff producers who support L’Effervescence as “artisans” out of respect for their finely honed skills. The ingredients list, passed out by hand, is a chronicle of the producing regions Namae visits in his travels. Artisanal Vegetables, a dish that changes its appearance with each passing season, is one speciality. The love for nature that wells up from his pairings of umami from land and sea is the tale told through the cuisine here." - Michelin Inspector

"A connection to land is the cornerstone of Chef Shinobu Namae’s genre-blurring haute cuisine, which he describes as "post-colonial cooking." In simplest terms, he applies modern French techniques to Japanese ingredients, and his signature dish couldn't exemplify that more: a tender, whole Japanese turnip that, after a four-hour sous-vide preparation, is sauteed in butter and sprinkled with brioche crumbs." - Melinda Joe
