Michelin-starred Tokyo remains world's culinary capital

Thirty-three new restaurants in Tokyo got Michelin stars in its 2019 guidebook, making the Japanese city the culinary capital of the world for another year.

Tokyo now has 230 Michelin-starred restaurants, which is a fall from last year's 234, but still more than double Paris' 113 and three times more than London's 71.

The 2019 Tokyo Michelin Guide, which goes on sale on Friday, included L'Osier, which uses both Japanese and French ingredients, as the latest fine-dining establishment to earn the highest three-star honor, giving Tokyo 13 such restaurants, compared to Paris' 10 and three in London.
