Michelin Guide
Michelin surpassed Bridgestone in 2019 to keep the number one sales in the world and is one of the big three companies in the tire industry.
To promote the company’s products, they have begun to provide guidebooks to provide useful information to car travelers.
The Michelin Guide began with the free distribution of 35,000 copies in 1900.
It is updated every year except during the two wars, and has been charged since 1920.
Hotel and restaurant guides called red guides (English: red guide, French: le guide rouge) are famous.
In addition to facilities, business hours, budget, etc., the Red Guide will conduct its own research and post marks on comfort and food.
Among them, the rating of dishes called “stars” or “macaroons” indicated by 0 to 3 ” is very influential.
It has been announced that this rating will be given only to food, based on surveys and criteria based on universal methods such as anonymous surveys by mystery shoppers and visit surveys by revealing identity.
Which city is No.1 ?
The company Michelin is from France.
So I thought Paris‘s restaurants would be on the top.
Many Japanese visit France to learn cooking.
I know some of my friends visited Paris as well.
But it seems Paris is No.2 with 104 Michelin starred restaurants.
Tokyo is top with 230 Michelin starred restaurants.
Kyoto is also 2nd with 104 restaurants same with Paris.
Osaka is 4th with 99 restaurants.
New York is next with 76 starred restaurants.
