Esquisse Cinq: A new stage for dessert maestro Kazutoshi Narita
Kazutoshi Narita makes gorgeous desserts. They are lyrical flights of fancy, adorned with colorful swooshes and sprinkles, crisp shards, fragile foams and delicate, lacy sugar confections. Until recently, the only way you could taste them was at the end of a full meal of high-end French cuisine at Esquisse in Ginza, where Narita has been head patisserie chef for the past four and a half years. Now, though, Narita has his own place as well, Esquisse Cinq, where you can skip straight to the sweet course — or even treat yourself to two or three at a time.
