Michelin Guide Tokyo!

The famous guide is making its entry into Asia with the publication of the first edition in Tokyo, scheduled for release in 22 November 2007.
After Europe, where 20 countries are covered, and the United States, the MICHELIN guide is pursuing its international development in Japan.
Since last summer, European and Japanese Michelin inspectors have been making anonymous visits to restaurants and hotels in Tokyo, evaluating meals and staying overnight in hotels

Five criteria are taken into account: product quality, preparation and flavors, the "personality" of the chef and the kitchen team, consistency over time and across the entire menu, and value for money.
The number of stars that may be awarded ranges from one to three.

Their meaning is always the same, regardless of the country:

1: ''good restaurant in its category."

2: "excellent cooking, worth a detour."

3: "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey."

The MICHELIN guide Tokyo will be available in two languages: Japanese and English.

If you live in Japan or plan to visit Tokyo, check the guide.

I will get one tomorrow and introduce the chosen restaurants tomorrow!

Welcome to Cigar & Blog Night!

Welcome to Cigar & Blog Night!

I am Tom.

I'm living in Tokyo which is one of the most exciting city in the world.

I am going to introduce you something new and cool in the blog.

I found an interesting article written by a Japanese charismatic marketer, Akira Ishihara.

Tokyo (Japanese) version of the Michelin guide which has introduced us ratings and reviews of best hotels and restaurants in the world will be published soon.
I think you probably heard about three Michelin stars.

Five spies from Michelin have been investigating more than 1200 hotels and restaurants in Tokyo since May 2006.
It seems that the two out of five are Japanese and the others are European.

If restaurants knows about the above information, they will suspect that some of customers may be the Michelin spies at the backstage.

It's quite funny to imagine it.
