Michelin Tokyo Guide Names Eight 3-Star Restaurants
Three of Joel Robuchon’s Tokyo establishments won stars in the Michelin Guide’s inaugural edition for the Japanese capital’s restaurants, which were awarded 191 stars, the most of any city in the world.
Hamadaya, [featured above] a 95-year-old restaurant in central Tokyo where guests can be entertained by Geishas, [seems archaic to me too but it is part of the culture] was one of five Japanese eateries to get the top rating. To avoid any confusion: One star indicates a very good restaurant, two stars denote excellent cuisine that is worth a detour, while three stars reward exceptional cuisine that’s worth making a “special journey” for. Need we say more?
