The French Michelin Guide has called 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, according to The Japan Times/Bloomberg:
"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.
Where do I apply for the job as "Professional evaluator"?
