Among them, four have been awarded their three stars for 10 successive years: Joël Robuchon, where the chef serves aFrench cuisine, Kanda, owned by the chef Hiroyuki Kanda and specialized inJapanese cuisine, Quintessence, helmed by the japonese chef Shuzo Kishida who proposes a French cuisine, and Sukiyabashi Jiro Honten, where the chef Jiro Ono prepared sushi.

The 2017 #michelin guide selection welcomes 4 new two star restaurants, offering a Japanese style of cuisine: Amamoto and Masuda, both specialized in Sushi, Miyasaka, aJapanese restaurant, and Ginya, which serves Tempura. 

The #michelin guide #tokyo 2017 has also awarded 19 new restaurants one star, representing different styles of cuisine: Amber Palace which serves a Chinese cuisine, Arai, Harutaka, Iwa, Sugita and Kurosaki specialized in Sushi, Ciel et Sol, Craftale, Nabeno-Ism and L'Orgueil both serving a French cuisine,but also two Italian restaurants with Honda and TacuboIwai specialized in Tempura, Ryo; which proposes Unagi specialties, Shin, a Japanese restaurant and Sublime, an innovative style of cuisine. 

Three of the new one star restaurants have been promoted from their previous Bib Gourmand distinction: Bird Land-Yakitori, Nakiryu-Ramen, Regalo-Italian. 

Washoku-Traditional Japanese cuisine, whose cooking style is to concentrate on getting the best of natural ingredients, has become the focus of worldwide attention and makes up of the majority of this selection. Soba and Sushi are well-known representatives of Washoku and are said to be Edo’s traditional local cuisine. There are also other cuisines whose origins were from outside #japan but which have now become Washoku after evolving in #japan, such Ramen and Yoshoku.
