Michelin Guide to Tokyo 2018

The Michelin Guide to Tokyo 2018 has been released, with the big news being that the city with the most Michelin stars in the world now has five new two-star restaurants. 

Joining the two star club this year are Zaiyu Hasegawa's Den, two French spots, namely former Asia's One to Watch Florilège and Hommage, Higuchi, and Sazenka, a Chinese restaurant. 

Though there are no new three three stars this year (all existing three stars retain Michelin's highest honour), there are 23 new one star restaurants. This means Tokyo, incredibly, now has 12 three star restaurants, 56 two stars and 166 one star restaurants – a total of 234. 

Tokyo's nearest city rival in the stars-stakes, Paris, has 107 starred restaurants in comparison.
