Michelin Guide Tokyo 2024: first 3-star sushi shop in 3 years

"I have been trying not to care about ratings in my quest to maintain quality, but just today, I want to get the full measure of this pleasure," said a beaming Harutaka Takahashi, the 50-year-old chef of Harutaka, as he savored his restaurant's new status at a ceremony held the same day. Also featured in the guidebook are 33 two-star restaurants and 138 single-star eateries. A total of 194 restaurants recommended by food inspectors are presented in a new section, the novel Michelin-selected restaurant division, even though they are not deemed to be sufficiently excellent to warrant stars. This category is available from this year. As many as 127 are listed as "Bib Gourmand" establishments that offer exceptionally good food at moderate prices. Consequently, a record 504 establishments are now recommended in the Michelin Guide Tokyo.
