The MICHELIN Guide is a benchmark in gastronomy. With a new hotel selection created by Tablet Hotels, we’re setting the same standard for hotels.

Now on its 13th year, the MICHELIN Guide Kyoto Osaka 2022 edition lists 21 new MICHELIN restaurants in Kyoto and 26 in Osaka. Both cities also see an increased number of MICHELIN Green Star restaurants, whose culinary efforts champion sustainable gastronomy.

With 446 restaurants listed – including 2 new restaurants with Three Stars, 2 with Two Stars and 18 with One Star – as well as 34 hotels and ryokans, the Japanese capital continues to be one of the most dynamic and attractive destinations in the world for food and hospitality.

Three stars are the reward for the dazzling career of Kei Kobayashi, as he becomes the first Japanese chef in the history of the Michelin Guide to achieve the ultimate award in France. Here is an aesthete burning with enthusiasm.

The 12th edition of the guide to Kyoto Osaka recognises 265 establishments listed in Kyoto and 222 establishments in Osaka, as well as a brand new selection for the Okayama region. The Green Star makes its debut as a new emblem highlighting Sustainable Gastronomy.
