It's official....Tokyo is the best place to eat in the world.

The famous Michelin Guide for restaurants has come to Japan and published its first guide to the restaurants in Tokyo. For those of us that live here this is not new to us. With over 100,000 restaurants to choose from alone in Tokyo and only 150 restaurants mentioned in the guide, surely, there are more worthy restaurants to mention. Here's a clip from the Japan Times.

The Michelin Guide named Tokyo the "world leader" in gourmet dining, awarding three-star status to eight restaurants in its inaugural edition for the capital.
The dining guide gave two stars to 25 restaurants, and one star to 117. Michelin awarded stars to 150 restaurants in all.
"Tokyo has become the world leader in gourmet dining, with more 'stars' than any other city," Michelin said in a release. The city boasts 191 stars in all. Professional evaluators for the guide anonymously visited 1,500 establishments for a year and a half to compile the list.
Paris boasts 98 Michelin stars and 10 three-star restaurants. London has 50 stars with one establishment at the top rank. New York has three three-star restaurants and 49 stars in all.
