This news might remind you of our last newsletter where we introduce a new edition of French Guidebook Michelin featuring the Tokyo and Kyoto vicinity. You can get your hands on the "Michelin guide Tokyo Yokohama Kamakura" and "Michelin guide Kyoto Osaka Kobe" at major bookstores in the U.S later this month. We proudly make note that Tokyo has received more than triple the number of stars as Paris and New York, proving its places the world’s best gourmet city.
