Restaurants showcasing the diversity of Tokyo, the world’s greatest gourmet city

Year round, MICHELIN Guide inspectors sample an endless procession of dishes. Once in a while, a dish lands on their tables that is simply unforgettable.

The popular belief about the MICHELIN Guide is that it’s all about the stars, but don’t forget about Bib Gourmand too! Bib Gourmand awarded restaurants are adored by their many diners, because these restaurants offer meals that are even more satisfying than the price. Today, we present a list of nine restaurants that will be joining our Tokyo Selection.

Restaurant Harutaka is newly awarded Three MICHELIN Stars. One restaurant newly receives Two MICHELIN Stars, and 16 restaurants are recognised with One MICHELIN Star. The MICHELIN Green Star highlights the sustainable commitment of one new establishment. Two Special Awards are presented: the MICHELIN Mentor Chef and the MICHELIN Service Award.

Tokyo’s hotels are in a class of their own — often set high above the city, their high-end offerings have long been the envy of the world. And lately, more and more options for the hip and budget-friendly have joined the scene as well. Below, find a collection of the top hotels in Tokyo.

Daniel Calvert, 34, is Executive Chef of SÉZANNE in Tokyo, which was promoted to Two MICHELIN Stars in the MICHELIN Guide Tokyo 2023. Before moving to Tokyo in 2021, he lived and worked in London, Paris, New York, and Hong Kong. We asked him about Japan, his experiences around the world, and his message to young chefs.

Myojaku and SÉZANNE receive Two MICHELIN Stars, and 16 new restaurants are distinguished One MICHELIN Star, while the Bib Gourmand celebrates 38 new restaurants which have been rated as best value-for-money by MICHELIN inspectors.
