Michelin Guide 2026: a New Star for japanese cuisine

The Michelin Star is the most prestigious award in the world of fine dining. It is bestowed by the authoritative guide, the Ghidul Michelin. This award is a mark of the highest quality and craftsmanship. To receive one, two, or, the rarest of all, 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 preparation techniques. The originality of the dishes and consistency of quality are also assessed. For consumers, the Michelin Star serves as a guarantee of an exceptional gastronomic experience. This award often dramatically changes a restaurant's destiny.

Japan — The World Capital of Stars
Japan is one of the global leaders in fine dining, occupying second place by the number of three-starred Michelin restaurants. According to Ghidul Michelin data from July 2024, there are 20 three-starred establishments located in Japan, second only to France (30). This impressive number confirms the high level of culinary craftsmanship and respect for ingredients. The majority of these elite restaurants, which value precision and seasonality, are concentrated in Tokyo.

New Sensation: Results of the Michelin Guide Tokyo 2026
The full list of restaurants included in the 19th edition of The Michelin Guide Tokyo 2026 was presented on September 25th. This event once again confirmed that Tokyo remains the city with the deepest and most diverse gastronomy in the world. This year, 18 new restaurants received their first stars.
