Michelin Guide 2026: A New Star for Japanese Cuisine
€
€
The Michelin Star is the most prestigious award in the world of haute cuisine. It is awarded by the authoritative guide Ghidul Michelin. This award is a sign of the highest quality and craftsmanship. To receive one, two, or, most rarely, three stars is the dream of any chef. Michelin inspectors remain anonymous. The evaluation criteria are very strict. They include the quality of ingredients and cooking techniques. The originality of dishes and consistency of quality are also evaluated. For consumers, a Michelin star is a guarantee of an exceptional gastronomic experience. This award often radically changes the fate of a restaurant.
Japan — The World Capital of Stars Japan is one of the world leaders in haute cuisine, ranking second in the number of Michelin three-star restaurants. According to the July 2024 edition of the Michelin Guide, Japan has 20 three-star establishments, second only to France (30). This number confirms the high level of culinary skill and respect for ingredients. Most of these elite restaurants, which value precision and seasonality, are concentrated in Tokyo.
