A favorite shop is relieved in not gaining stars in Michelin.

I've heard that it's incredibly stressful to get Michelin stars, the pressure to maintain or improve on that level of excellence has driven some chefs mad.

Might have to check out those bib gourmand places though. I wonder what they consider "affordable" these days.

I was curious, too, and checked their menus. Most of these posh places do not list prices. One restaurant stated that their dinner sets *started* at 5,000 JPY per person.

I guess that's reasonable compared to one that starts at 30,000 apiece...
